Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Whitlark is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building highly reliable, scalable services and full-stack applications, with deep expertise in Clojure, ClojureScript and Scala. He has a strong track record in production-critical systems—from a download service at BitTorrent that served hundreds of millions of binaries with virtually zero crashes to big data infrastructure using Apache Spark and PostgreSQL. Jason favors careful tool choices around concurrency and parallelism, and pairs that discipline with hands-on work across front-end stacks (React/Reagent, Datascript) and databases (Datomic, PostgreSQL). He’s an active open-source contributor and published author with patches to core Clojure tooling and chapters in both the Python and Clojure Cookbooks. Based in California, he moves comfortably between startup and enterprise contexts, having driven systems at IronPort, ClearStory Data, and early-stage companies. An interesting non-obvious detail: his engineering approach blends UNIX pipes-and-filters pragmatism with functional programming idioms to deliver compact, resilient systems.
