Summary
Sean Wayland is a versatile software engineer with nine years of professional experience and a deep background in C++, Python, data engineering and full-stack development, currently contributing to JPMorgan Chase’s Athena Core platform. He combines enterprise-grade risk and data platform work with a long history of performance-focused systems engineering—from modernizing legacy C++ FastCGI services and building CI/CD pipelines to developing audio DSP and cross-platform musical applications using JUCE and embedded systems. Comfortable across cloud, big data and low-level optimization, Sean has delivered solutions at banks, ad-tech and niche audio companies while also consulting on high-scale web systems and ML-enabled environmental monitoring. Unusually, he pairs this technical breadth with a prolific career as a jazz pianist/composer—25 albums and international tours—which informs a creative approach to complex engineering problems and client-facing collaboration.
