Top SchoolJared Crawford is a software engineer with a decade of experience building large-scale, security-first infrastructure for major platforms, currently advancing platform security at Netflix.

A mentor and developer-productivity advocate, Jared also contributes to open-source projects such as the widely used xonsh shell, improving robustness and documentation. Based in Charlotte, NC, he combines systems-level thinking with hands-on engineering to deliver auditable, secure defaults across complex, company-wide transitions.
