Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Popham is a Principal software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in deterministic code analysis, graph-based code modeling, and scalable backend systems. He was a founding engineer at Supermodel where he built queryable architectural models of source code, designed parsing and graph pipelines, and shipped production analysis endpoints that outperformed baselines by large margins (94.1% F1 at 100% precision on a dead-code benchmark). At Scale Factor LLC he leads research and development on software engineering tools, blending a mathematics background with practical CS skills to squeeze both accuracy and efficiency from analysis pipelines. He has hands-on experience with LLM integration, multi-provider routing, and tooling from CLI to VS Code extensions, and has published results showing dramatic cost and speed improvements over agent baselines. Based in Atlanta, he shares ongoing work and insights at jonathanpopham.com/blog, combining academic rigor with product-focused engineering.
