Summary
🤩
RockstarJason Felice is a seasoned SDE IV based in Cleveland with 16+ years building robust business systems spanning retail POS, logistics, embedded devices, and web office automation. He blends systems-level C++ and concurrency expertise with high-productivity work in Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and diverse niche languages across Linux/*NIX and macOS ecosystems. At companies from Micros Retail to Groupon and 2U he has driven architecture and implementation of production-critical services while contributing pragmatic fixes and features upstream in major open-source projects like Terraform, Neovim, and Kitty. His open-source work shows a focus on developer experience and reliability—from improving Terraform’s Vault provider and Neovim undo behavior to enhancing BDD tooling for iOS and macOS window management. Pragmatic and curious, he often tackles low-level edge cases (compiler patterns, runtime init, autossh system services) that quietly improve platform stability and developer productivity.
