Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Catena is a Senior Software Build Engineer with 16+ years automating and parallelizing complex build, CI/CD, and configuration-management systems for embedded and trading platforms. He designs and leads literate, functional build systems—having written his own tool, Credo—while operationalizing pipelines with TeamCity, Jenkins, Argo, and Artifactory for large-scale teams. Jason blends deep shell- and Python-based tooling with experience across SCMs (Git, ClearCase, Perforce) and accelerators (ElectricAccelerator, GNU parallel) to cut build times and simplify delivery. He has a track record of turning fragile, manual processes into robust, auditable automation used worldwide and brings hands-on on-call and plugin-level expertise to maintain production reliability. Based in Bartlett, IL, he pairs pragmatic engineering with technical authorship (noweb/LaTeX) and a preference for composing build behavior from small, reusable command-line scripts rather than monolithic control files.
