Senior🎓
Top SchoolJessica Mulein is a software architect and founder with over a decade of experience designing foundational systems and end-to-end web ecosystems across startups, enterprise, and nonprofit ventures. Her career ranges from low-level embedded and FPGA work to cloud-native services and high-level architectural research at Microsoft, combining deep systems knowledge with product-focused delivery. She has founded a boutique creative studio and a privacy-focused open-source nonprofit, leading projects like a decentralized filesystem and encrypted coordination engine that reflect a long-standing commitment to human-centered technology. Known for bridging disciplines—software engineering, digital media, and system administration—she often codes across stacks (C/C++, Python, TypeScript, C#) while mentoring distributed teams. Currently based in Auburn, Washington, Jessica has intentionally stepped back from professional work for health and family, keeping her profile for connection and legacy rather than availability. An early hacker-entrepreneur, she even co-founded an ISP as a teen, showing a career-long pattern of practical curiosity and building things that last.
