Summary
Jon Oropeza is a hands-on senior engineering manager in Portland with 11 years of experience scaling teams and shipping revenue-driving web and data platforms across health, retail, and finance. He blends full-stack delivery (TypeScript, Python, React, Node) with infrastructure and data engineering practices—Kubernetes, Terraform, event-driven systems—and has a track record taking greenfield products to market (~$2M ARR). His background spans startups and enterprise, from co-founding a multimedia analysis startup to running merchandising tech that supported $2B+ in retail sales, and leading data platforms accelerating rare-disease treatment efforts. Jon is comfortable architecting AI-driven ingestion and workflow systems (e.g., automated extraction for CRE underwriting) while still contributing code and building developer processes like high-frequency CI/CD. Colleagues describe him as an entrepreneurial operator who replaces himself—hiring, mentoring, and leaving teams capable of continuing growth without him.
