Top SchoolJason Maldonis is an applied engineering leader with 13 years of experience bridging software, product development, and research-driven problem solving.

Outside work he sails, volunteers with Madison startup groups, and publishes personal projects on GitHub that showcase his curiosity across systems, data, and product.
