Top SchoolJake Hash is a pragmatic VP of Software Engineering with 12 years of experience building and shipping JavaScript-driven SPAs across web and mobile platforms.

Notably, he started shipping mobile apps early in his career and continues to favor developer ergonomics and simple UX-driven product decisions.
