Top SchoolJim Shields is a software engineer and pragmatic technical leader with 11 years of experience building data-driven products, cloud infrastructure, and internal tools for firms like Stripe, YipitData, and Novus Partners.

At YipitData he focused on optimizing cloud infrastructure and APIs, and at Stripe and Assembled he continued to drive scalable, production-grade systems. Jim’s background blends quantitative finance domain experience with a curious maker mentality honed at the Recurse Center, where a personal project earned mention in FiveThirtyEight’s Oscars analysis.
