Jared Strand is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building cloud-native and networking systems across IBM and Cisco, currently contributing to IBM Cloud Platform's Billing & Usage team in the San Francisco Bay Area. He blends full-stack development with infrastructure and platform work—from RBAC and IDP services to pipeline state management and high-availability networking telemetry—making him effective at both product-facing features and internal tooling. Former CTO of a startup, he brings hands-on leadership and an entrepreneurial perspective to engineering teams, often translating research prototypes into production-ready pipelines. His background includes work with genomics research tooling at IBM Almaden and IOS-XE infrastructure at Cisco, demonstrating comfort in regulated and high-throughput environments. A lifelong learner who views coding as creation, he pairs a BS in Computer Science and a math minor with a practical knack for turning complex systems into auditable, maintainable solutions. An understated strength is his breadth: equally fluent in developer tooling, cloud billing systems, and accessibility/internationalization concerns.
