Summary
Raina Jacobskind is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building production systems across Elixir/Phoenix backends and Dart/Flutter and JavaScript frontends, currently contributing to DraftKings after a senior role at Simplebet. She combines a strong applied-mathematics foundation from Stony Brook with practical full-stack training from Fullstack Academy, enabling data-minded engineering and reliable system design. Her work emphasizes real-time and event-driven architectures—Commanded/CQRS, Phoenix LiveView, and GraphQL—paired with mobile-first client implementations. Notably, she has moved between hands-on implementation and platform-level thinking, shipping features in sports-betting and high-concurrency environments where latency and correctness matter. Based in Connecticut, she brings startup agility plus experience scaling systems in regulated, high-throughput domains.
