Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJudah Jacobson is a seasoned software engineer with 19 years of experience building robust systems across high-impact firms including Google, X (the moonshot factory), Lyft, and Formation. He combines deep theoretical training (PhD in Applied Mathematics from UCLA and a BA in Mathematics from Harvard) with hands-on engineering leadership, having held senior and staff roles that span research-oriented and production-scale environments. Judah is comfortable diving into low-level back-end challenges—evidenced by his contributions to the tensorflow/haskell bindings where he refactored code generation and improved compatibility for complex ops—while also guiding teams through architecture and delivery. Currently engineering at an undisclosed company in the United States, he brings a methodical, compatibility-first approach to shipping reliable software and improving build and type systems behind the scenes.
