Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Chin is a founder and CEO with a decade of experience building full‑stack systems and social-impact ventures that blend technology, education, and public policy. He led Share Meals from concept to a national hybrid webapp tackling college food insecurity, winning a $40k social impact prize and prototyping hardware upgrades to convert vending machines into automated pantries. As Interim CTO at the NYC Food Policy Center he scaled a public food-access database from hundreds to 11,000 records, automated ingestion and conflict resolution across multiple sources, and cut delivery timelines by an order of magnitude during COVID response. A practiced educator, he teaches computer science, literature, math, and martial arts across ages 5–65, including work in high-risk communities and correctional facilities, which informs his human-centered approach to product design. He pairs hands-on engineering—web scraping, i18n automation, CI/CD and secure data workflows—with research-driven customer discovery and policy engagement. Notably, his practice blends creative writing and poetry training with technical leadership, giving him a rare ability to translate complex social problems into elegant technical solutions.
