Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJason Wolfe is a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI with 15 years of experience building production ML and NLP systems, and a PhD-trained background in computer science from UC Berkeley. He has led engineering and research teams at Microsoft/Semantic Machines to design novel program-synthesis and dataflow-based dialogue systems, and earlier cut his teeth founding core infrastructure and ML features at Prismatic. Jason combines deep research chops (partially observable games, hierarchical planning) with hands-on backend engineering in Clojure—he’s a notable contributor to plumatic libraries used widely in the Clojure ecosystem. Comfortable hiring, mentoring, and stewarding large codebases, he focuses on turning underspecified problems into scalable, maintainable systems that meet real human needs. Based in Berkeley, he brings a blend of formal reasoning, practical system-building, and a track record of boosting product impact through principled ML.

Clojure(Script) library for declarative data description and validation
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:24 reviews, 588 commits, 125 PRs in 9 years 4 months
Contributions summary:Jason primarily focused on enhancing the `plumatic/schema` library, adding features related to data description and validation within the Clojure and ClojureScript environments. They improved the `enum` construct, added support for primitive types, and added functionality for record schemas. Furthermore, they implemented testing to ensure the functionality of the new features added within the library.
