Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Friestedt is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building web platforms and APIs that drive efficiency and growth, currently based in Asbury Park, NJ. He’s led architecture and delivery for life-insurance core systems at Modern Life—designing quoting, underwriting, and case-management features—while also saving the company a five-figure annual expense by engineering a Hasura allow-list CI solution to meet SOC2 needs. Comfortable across frontend, backend, and design systems, he’s rebranded and rebuilt data discovery tooling at an early-stage music-tech startup and implemented a Figma/Storybook-driven component library. Jonathan combines disciplined engineering practices (observability, error handling, incident playbooks) with hands-on shipping, and brings an unusual background in musical theatre and legal support that informs clear communication and process thinking.
