Jeffrey Cherewaty is a software engineering leader and Director of Engineering based in San Francisco with 11 years of professional experience and 15 years as a technical domain lead. He specializes in developer experience, design systems, automated testing, and full‑stack web applications, with a track record of accelerating release cadence and introducing robust CI/CD, gRPC, and Playwright testing practices. Jeffrey has led engineering teams across VC‑funded startups (one with a significant exit where he was employee #1) and scaled products from prototype IoT hubs to production factory management and air‑gapped government deployments. He blends hands‑on engineering—shipping Node.js microservices, React/Tauri front ends, Electron packaging, and AWS Greengrass—with people leadership and developer tooling like monorepos and strict TypeScript. Known for pragmatically rethinking quality (favoring medium-sized automated tests) and design token theming, he helps teams move faster without sacrificing reliability. He holds an MS in Software Engineering from UT Austin and brings a consultant’s discipline from running a boutique firm into product engineering roles.
