Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Weidokal is a pragmatic senior software engineer and product-focused leader with eight years of experience building full-stack web applications and modernizing legacy systems for organizations like NASA and Progressive. He has led cross-functional Scrum teams to deliver mission-critical tools—shipping a collaborative root cause analysis platform at NASA, onboarding 100+ users in three months, and launching a REST API that halved manual data work—while also driving front-end excellence with Angular, TypeScript, and UX-first design. Equally comfortable in architecture and in the codebase, Jake has reduced test runtimes by 50%, championed API-first microservices and DevOps practices, and mentored engineers through demos, tech talks, and formal leadership training. He balances hands-on development with product stewardship and a knack for simplifying complex workflows via low-code automation. Based in Barberton, Ohio, Jake is exploring roles that return him to day-to-day engineering and entrepreneurial ventures where he can build impactful products with strong teams.
