Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Axelson is an engineering manager with 16 years of experience building resilient web and real-time applications, currently enabling teams at Felt to ship mapping software. He blends hands-on engineering in Elixir, JavaScript, Phoenix, and React with leadership that emphasizes shipping, automation, and adaptable systems. His background spans startups and product teams—from co-founding a Rails-based API acquired in 2015 to architecting high-throughput LiveView services and mixed-reality game logic authored via a custom DSL. Based in Hawaii, he brings practical full‑stack chops (backend services, scalable APIs, and responsive front-ends) and a knack for turning complex domain rules into tools non-technical teammates can use. Notably, he has experience engineering for traffic bursts above 400 RPS and building real-time presence and notification systems that scale.
