Summary
Jeff Lasslett is a seasoned Development Team Lead based in Melbourne with over 20 years of hands-on software experience spanning embedded C/assembly up to full-stack Ruby on Rails web applications. He blends low-level systems expertise—device drivers, network protocols and custom Linux distros—with modern web UI craftsmanship (HTML/CSS/JS, Backbone, Bootstrap) and a strong TDD/CI practice. A Certified Scrum Master, he not only codes but also shapes teams and delivery processes, having introduced TDD and Scrum in multiple organisations and led automated testing and tooling efforts that cut costs and improved quality. His background includes building web servers inside embedded devices and creating developer tooling that eliminated commercial license costs, demonstrating both technical depth and pragmatic cost-savings. Jeff is comfortable across paradigms (OOP, functional Haskell) and platforms (Linux/FreeBSD), and he frequently bridges product, support and operations to deliver usable, supportable systems. Colleagues describe him as an owner-engineer who prefers solving hard technical problems end-to-end rather than working in a single silo.
