Jake Swanson is a Staff Engineer with 13 years building resilient web platforms and high-throughput backend systems, currently based in Atlanta. He has deep Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and PostgreSQL expertise, and has architected services that orchestrate hundreds of thousands of phone calls daily while owning concurrency and race-condition edge cases. Early career work included front-end-heavy roles and shipping a customer-facing JS library that he refactored from ERB+JS into a compact, jQuery-free JavaScript bundle with a thorough test suite. Comfortable across the stack, Jake shifts between shipping product-facing front-end code and driving backend reliability improvements, and he’s known for pragmatic, idea-driven interventions that have averted major outages.
