Summary
👤
SeniorJason Farnsworth is a hands-on technology and product leader with 25+ years building and operating high-volume, AI-driven customer communication platforms across Amazon, Uber, Microsoft, LivePerson, and startups. He specializes in turning complex, real-time messaging and applied-AI systems into reliable, scalable business leverage—leading migrations from stateful on-prem systems to stateless Kubernetes clouds and architecting services that handle billions of events per hour. As a director and former CTO he blends strategy with execution: recruiting and scaling global teams, shipping mobile and web products, and driving measurable outcomes like 100% renewals and 30% YoY utilization growth. Notable wins include modernizing Amazon’s outbound messaging stack to enable automated onboarding and safety guardrails, and inventing real-time “Dynamic Actions” to detect fraud and emergencies in conversations. He contributes to front-end developer tooling (LivePerson’s developer-center) and brings a pragmatic hacker’s curiosity—he also describes himself playfully as a pizza chef hacker. Based in Seattle, he thrives at the intersection of product, AI, and engineering leadership, comfortably operating from early-stage architecture through enterprise scale.
