Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJared Wray is a veteran technology founder and CEO with over a decade of experience building cloud platforms and developer-focused products. He founded Tier 3, which became CenturyLink’s cloud platform, served as CTO at iStreamPlanet and Palmetto, and now leads Hyphen AI to simplify application build, deploy, and management workflows. Jared blends hands-on engineering—evident from open-source work like maintaining the Keyv key-value library and modernizing its CI and storage adapters—with strategic product and platform vision at scale. He’s an active investor and advisor who helps founders translate technical roadmaps into operational businesses. Based in Seattle, he repeatedly connects low-level infrastructure improvements to customer-facing innovations in media, clean energy, and developer tooling. An entrepreneur who still ships code, he favors pragmatic, infrastructure-first solutions that accelerate engineering teams.
