Jeff Dam is a Senior Software Engineer with seven years of experience blending education, curriculum design, and full-stack engineering to build customer-facing products used at scale. After a formative career designing STEM programs at the California Academy of Sciences, he transitioned through App Academy into product engineering roles at Curated and Crusoe, where he now focuses on aligning computing with climate goals. He brings a rare combination of pedagogy-driven user empathy and hands-on technical execution—comfortable using data (including SQL-backed solutions) to inform design and deliverables. Passionate about tangible impact, Jeff leverages his classroom experience to simplify complex workflows and improve developer and end-user experiences. Based in California, he pairs outdoor-driven problem-solving (avid rock climber and backpacker) with meticulous project stewardship, often approaching engineering challenges like route-finding on a climb.
