Justin Van Winkle is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable backend systems and leading engineering teams across startups and large enterprises. He has driven architecture and high-impact projects at eBay (including next-gen product data infrastructure), led teams in Israel, and more recently built data pipelines and ML models for invoice classification at SimpleLegal. Justin combines deep systems and data engineering chops—Postgres performance tuning, immutable ledger design, and PyTorch/scikit-learn modeling—with hands-on product delivery. He has a track record of migrating legacy stacks to modern Python/Postgres systems and shipping production-ready permission and data platforms. Based in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, he brings a practical mix of distributed-systems experience and curiosity informed by ongoing studies in mathematics, astronomy, and physics. An ex-Army electronics intelligence analyst, he pairs disciplined, methodical problem-solving with a taste for “cool hunting” and pragmatic innovation.
