Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJody V is a pragmatic software engineer with nine years’ experience building backend and frontend systems across fintech and SaaS, currently contributing to Fresho after roles at Block/Cash App and Afterpay where they helped launch the Afterpay virtual card and merchant settlement services. Comfortable across JVM and JavaScript ecosystems, they blend work in Java/Kotlin, Kafka, React/TypeScript and microservices with a habit of shipping through CI/CD pipelines and TDD. Prior experience in mechanical engineering and product design (Parrot, Airbus) gives Jody a systems-minded approach to engineering problems and a knack for rapid prototyping. A self-taught, DIY problem-solver, they authored a Ruby gem and have repeatedly stepped into cross-functional gaps to coordinate complex releases. Based in Melbourne, they balance technical rigor with adventurous hobbies — kitesurfing and building/racing custom FPV drones — that reflect their appetite for hands-on iteration and testing.
