Jason Gonzales is a product-focused engineer and seasoned technical leader with 13 years of experience building delightful, user-centered web and mobile applications from greenfield startups to large enterprises in the Bay Area. He has repeatedly served as the first or founding engineer—designing architectures, shipping customer-facing web apps and VSCode extensions, and scaling teams and processes at companies like DevZero, Audience Town, and Uber. His strengths span modern front-end and full-stack stacks (React/Next.js, d3, TypeScript, Node) and he’s led transitions from legacy systems to Next.js/TS/tRPC and built developer-facing security platforms such as “Encryption as a Service.” Known for turning tedious workflows into engaging interfaces, he pairs hands-on coding with hiring, mentoring, and cross-functional product collaboration. An unexpected thread through his career is a background in education and creative arts—he’s taught web development, won grants for ed-tech projects, and even worked as a professional songwriter—bringing a rare mix of pedagogy, design sensibility, and hustle to engineering teams.
