Jonas Badalič is a staff software engineer in New York with nine years of experience building high-performance developer tools and observability systems, currently leading design engineering at Sentry. He spans full-stack work—from React UI and design systems to C++ Node.js bindings—and architected Sentry’s NodeJS and JS self-profiling solutions used by hundreds of thousands weekly. Previously at Specto (acquired by Sentry) and Algolia, he built WebGL flamegraph visualizations and the first Analytics Event SDK that tied search relevance to real-world performance. Jonas is an active open-source contributor to projects like Node.js and the Sentry SDKs, with a track record of squeezing big performance wins (e.g., 50% TypeScript type-check speedups) through profiling and careful engineering. Once a basketball coach and player, he brings a curious, team-focused mindset to mentoring and product-facing technical decisions.
