Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJared Short is a seasoned engineer with 14 years building cloud-native and serverless systems, currently helping Stedi process B2B transactions at planet-scale. He blends hands-on backend work—improving developer CLI usability and interactive UX on the popular Serverless Framework—with leadership roles in developer relations and cloud engineering at Serverless Inc. and Trek10. Jared focuses on making "the simple way" also "the right way," turning complex distributed patterns into maintainable, serverless-first solutions. Based in Virginia, he pairs practical production experience (API integrations, CI/CD, test automation) with a knack for developer experience improvements that quietly reduce operational burden. An early contributor to tooling that helps functions auto-scale and avoid idle costs, he brings an operator’s sense for pragmatic trade-offs across platforms and teams.
