Summary
Jarred Filmer is a founder and software leader with 11 years of hands-on experience building payment systems, distributed web-scrapers, and startups from Brisbane. He left a dual IT/Psychology degree at 19 to ship a credit-card payments app, went on to lead a 6-person R&D engineering team by 23, and co-founded Neotill earlier in his career—demonstrating early technical leadership and product focus. Now leading Dialectica, he’s shifting toward creating structured contexts for truth-seeking dialogue on complex societal problems, blending technical craft with human-centered reflection. His background in both IT and psychology informs a rare combination of engineering rigor and attention to human dynamics in teams and products. Known jokingly on GitHub as an "engineer of vibes and software," he pairs pragmatic system-building with an interest in how technology shapes collective reasoning.
