Summary
Jarrett Baugh is a Staff Backend Engineer with 14 years of experience building reliable, high-performance web applications, currently focused on Ruby on Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, and AWS at Mode Mobile. He brings deep expertise in backend architecture, performance tuning, security, and clean design, shaped by roles from CTO to contractor across startups and nonprofits. Comfortable across languages and paradigms—Ruby, Elixir, Go, JavaScript, Python, Lisp, Erlang and C-family—he pairs pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for new technologies. Past work includes leading conversions and feature delivery as a CTO and improving product conversion and reliability at CareMessage and Leaseful. He values test-driven practices (RSpec, Cucumber) and automation, and often explores systems-level topics like sockets, Winsock, and scripting in spare time. That blend of hands-on backend craftsmanship and broad language fluency makes him effective at both day-to-day delivery and longer-term system improvements.
