Top SchoolJed Prentice is a Principal Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience building and architecting scalable, distributed systems across startups and enterprise teams. Currently at Blue Yonder after a long tenure shaping core architecture at Optoro, he blends hands-on coding with system design, spending significant time turning prototypes into production. He is language-agnostic and pragmatic, with deep expertise in Ruby, Java, JavaScript, C/C++, databases (NoSQL and RDBMS), UNIX tooling, and containerized infrastructure like Docker and Kubernetes. Jed excels at improving team productivity through mentoring, architecture and code reviews, and aligning technical decisions with business processes. Comfortable across the full stack, he’s as likely to be found in the shell optimizing performance as drafting an API contract, and his career shows a consistent focus on sustainable, observable systems.
