Top SchoolJason Adaska is a pragmatic engineering leader and applied-math expert who currently heads Air and Missile Defense engineering at Anduril, bringing over a decade of experience building software, algorithms, and teams for mission-critical systems. He has led diverse technical organizations—from R&D teams crafting advanced algorithms to stream-aligned engineering groups delivering cloud-native products—and is comfortable both setting technical vision and writing production code across Python, Haskell, JavaScript, Java, and C#. His background in multi-target tracking, probabilistic inference, and optimization underpins practical ML and analytics solutions used in C2 and sensor systems, while his Harvard PhD gives him a rigorous foundation in theory. Jason has repeatedly translated ambiguous, high-stakes requirements into deliverable systems on tight budgets and timelines, and has even bridged technical and legal domains by automating legal operations at a major law firm. Colocated in Westminster, CO, he combines hands-on architecture with people-first leadership and a knack for finding innovative leverage in constrained environments.
