Summary
Jason Heddings is a Senior Principal Software Engineer and strategic technical leader with 12+ years of experience building products across embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, SaaS, and mobile platforms. He has led engineering teams from startup to Fortune 50 scale—architecting storage and HCI products at NetApp, shaping enterprise integrations and developer platforms at Workday, and delivering ML-driven energy management systems at Maplewell. Jason excels at translating technical capabilities into business impact, having driven partnerships with Slack and Microsoft, led post-acquisition integrations, and built developer SDKs and extensibility platforms. He combines hands-on systems design (from firmware and embedded Linux to full-stack cloud APIs) with servant leadership that mentors teams to exceed expectations. Based in Denver, he pairs a rare breadth of hardware-software experience with product and go-to-market savvy, and privately balances tech work with roles as husband and father. An early contributor to eLearning standards at Sun, he brings both standards-level thinking and practical execution to complex, regulated domains.
