Summary
Jake Kausler is a Senior Software Engineer in Raleigh with a decade of experience building and testing production-grade web applications across education, government, and analytics domains. At Nearpod he applies full-stack skills honed earlier at Novetta (Go, ExtJS, mapping and AV integrations) and SAS (Groovy/Java test automation) to deliver reliable, customer-focused solutions. He pairs a strong algorithmic foundation from his BA in Computer Science with unusual interdisciplinary work—his undergraduate thesis generated practice sentences from the Greek New Testament—illustrating a talent for melding language, algorithms, and tooling. Jake is equally comfortable collaborating with customers and cross-functional teams, writing industry-compliant documentation, and embedding test automation to ensure robust deployments. Outside work he channels a service-oriented mindset from mentoring and outreach roles into pragmatic software that helps users and learners.
