Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Van Vorhis is a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer based in San Francisco who combines a user-centered, curious mindset with pragmatic, production-focused execution. Over four years he has built secure, high-performance systems using Go, TypeScript, React, Node, and Kubernetes, notably architecting a search microservice and integrating accessibility and feature-flagging practices into CI/CD at Virtru. He contributes to open-source projects like DenoStore and works with emerging runtimes (Deno) to deliver tooling that optimizes GraphQL resolver-level caching and observable performance gains. A former startup co-founder and operator, Jake brings product intuition and growth experience—having helped scale an ecommerce brand to $3M+—to engineering decisions and cross-functional collaboration. He’s equally comfortable shipping backend concurrency primitives as he is evangelizing developer workflows, making him a practical bridge between security-minded platform work and delightful user experiences.
