Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Terrell is a Principal Engineer with 12 years of experience who blends hands-on systems design, data science, and software craftsmanship to deliver maintainable, insight-driven products. Currently at McKinsey & Company, he previously founded a data analytics startup based on patent-pending techniques from his UNC Chapel Hill Ph.D. research and taught app development as a Professor of the Practice. He emphasizes clean, legible code, principled analysis, and simple architectural concepts to reduce cost and accelerate delivery while coaching teams to become more effective. Comfortable across the full stack—from Ruby on Rails and Ember.js to cloud-scale performance inference—he pairs academic rigor with practical product delivery. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of turning research ideas (including TCP inference and server-performance methods) into real-world services and teaching others to do the same.
