Summary
Jared Grippe is a Staff Software Engineer with 17 years of professional experience and over two decades working with JavaScript and TypeScript across full-stack web applications. He blends hands-on engineering with leadership—most recently at Lattice and previously as CTO of JLINC Labs and the first hired engineer at Change.org where he led frontend re-architecture and built tooling that dramatically sped up CI. Jared has taught and mentored across multiple bootcamps and training programs, shaping curriculum and coaching new engineers while maintaining production chops in Node, PostgreSQL, and scalable web systems. Based in rural Camptonville, California, he pairs startup grit (Y Combinator founder experience) with deep operational experience, including infrastructure, background jobs, caching, and developer productivity improvements. Not obvious from titles alone: he has repeatedly moved slow test suites into fast, reliable CI and built internal platforms that amplified team velocity.
