Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Graves is a Principal Engineer based in Austin with 13 years of professional software experience and a decades-long coding pedigree that began with an Apple //c. He has led backend, reliability, and architecture work across retail and consumer platforms—most recently driving systems and SRE practices at H-E-B after senior engineering roles at Optimizely and Under Armour Connected Fitness. Jay excels at designing pragmatic order-management, manufacturing, and integration systems (notably Django and Python-driven solutions) that measurably improved on-time metrics and operational efficiency. A former consultant and business owner, he pairs hands-on implementation with leadership in DevOps and enterprise integrations, moving teams from manual to automated processes. His GitHub persona (“squid dissection as a service”) hints at a playful, analytical approach to complex problems and a willingness to dive deep into system internals.
