Summary
Jessica Mcelroy is a full-stack engineer with over a decade of experience building user-focused web applications and observability tools that help teams move faster. She has shipped cross-functional features at Honeycomb and Airbnb, from query builders and service maps to server-driven UIs and event-driven compliance systems, and now applies that product-minded engineering at LaunchDarkly. Comfortable across Ruby/Rails, Python, Java, and modern JavaScript/React stacks, she excels at making complex tooling feel intuitive and improving collaboration through UX-driven redesigns. A mentor and interviewer who has onboarded apprentices and refined hiring processes, she pairs hands-on delivery with systems thinking. Based in Fort Collins, she draws on a background in urban policy and research—an uncommon blend that informs her pragmatic, user-centered approach to engineering.
