Jake Lewis is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack web applications, currently based in Austin and leading engineering work at SimSpace. Trained as a mechanical engineer with materials science research experience—where he fabricated and tested reentry heatshield materials—he transitioned to software after consulting on cognitive projects at IBM and completing an immersive web development program at Galvanize. His background blends research rigor, product-focused consulting, and hands-on engineering across startups and mid-size companies, with experience shipping features through acquisitions and rapid-growth environments. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks, he thrives in fast-paced teams that value curiosity and practical impact, and brings an uncommon combination of lab-driven experimentation and production software delivery to systems engineering.
