Jessica Appelbaum is a design-driven software engineer in Boulder, Colorado with a decade of experience building full-stack applications and data-rich systems. She blends a strong mathematical background and fine arts sensibility to craft intuitive front-ends and robust back-end integrations, working extensively in Clojure/Clojurescript, JavaScript, Datomic, and ElasticSearch. Jessica has delivered production systems across energy and solar finance domains—automating underwriting data pipelines and building demand-response and EV orchestration services using AWS serverless patterns. Comfortable in REPL-driven, iterative workflows, she favors rapid feedback loops from metrics, peers, and users to reduce risk and technical debt. Beyond code, she brings visual design skills (Sketch, Adobe Suite) and a history of leading lightweight engineering culture rituals like lightning talks to amplify team learning.
