Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJeff Maher is a technology strategist and software engineering leader with 11 years of experience building reliable, user-centered digital public services across government and private sectors. As Director of Tech Strategy and Software Engineering at Bloom Works and former senior leader at the Canadian Digital Service and US Digital Service, he blends hands-on engineering, SRE, and product management to deliver high-impact programs like Canada’s COVID Alert and veteran benefits digital services. He excels at translating discovery and user research into pragmatic modernization plans, reducing operational bottlenecks and improving accessibility for programs such as NRCan’s Greener Homes and CPP Disability. Jeff has led large teams and organizational change—moving CDS from a matrix to program-based structure—and routinely reforms hiring and practice to improve diversity and reliability. Comfortable in both code and executive conversations, he pairs deep technical skills (Kubernetes, Terraform, Python, DevOps) with a research-oriented, outcomes-first approach to reduce friction for users. Outside of work he’s a fan of trees and civic tech, bringing that civic-minded curiosity to open, service-focused solutions.
