Summary
Joe Jasinski is a seasoned Sr. Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 15 years of experience building Python/Django web applications and cloud-native platforms powered by Kubernetes. Based in Chicago, he blends deep UNIX/Linux and network administration roots with modern DevOps practices—Terraform, Helm, Istio, and CI/CD—to productionalize ML and data platforms that scale. At Nielsen he led refactors that cut support load and automated multi-tenant installs with reusable infrastructure, and he’s driven Spark, Airflow, GPU, and secure package workflows to enable reproducible data science. Joe’s background at a Python-focused consultancy and earlier ops roles gives him a rare mix of hands-on platform engineering, client-facing delivery, and mentoring, including reviving an internship program that converted to full-time hires. Practical, systems-minded, and quietly focused on reliability, he enjoys turning brittle processes into automated, maintainable systems.
