Jake Riesterer is a software engineer with 13 years of experience building high-performance, data-driven web systems and real-time services from Austin, Texas. He has shipped large-scale backend pipelines and search solutions (Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Neo4j, Kafka/RabbitMQ) and led front-end modernizations using React, Webpack, and Babel. At Wikibuy he redesigned product ingestion to serve 100M+ items in real time and dramatically improved Google Shopping ad ROI, and he now applies that scalability focus at Cloudflare.
