Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Mittleman is a Software Engineer II with eight years of experience building full-stack web applications and internal tooling, currently contributing at Applause after leading feature and automation work at Aquent. He bridges creative and technical teams, pairing a BFA in Animation with an MS in Computer Science to translate design needs into robust Angular/TypeScript front-ends and Java/Spring Boot back-ends backed by PostgreSQL. Jake has a track record of improving operational reliability through automation—maintaining critical Python scripts for commission payouts and owning end-to-end test suites in Ruby/Selenium. He mentors junior engineers, designs intuitive RESTful services, and brings production-ready pragmatism from both remote team environments and fast-turnaround animation projects. Unusually for an engineer, his earlier professional animation and character-design experience gives him a finely tuned sense for UX and visual detail that informs his software work.
