Software Engineer in Castle Rock

Hi, I'm Jarrod. I build software and technology solutions at scale.

I am a veteran software engineer with a passion for engineering excellence. I've worked on teams from bootstrapped startups to Fortune 50 retail giants and worn many hats along the way.

I'm very interested in solving problems at scale through distributed, parallel processing. I have contributed to open-source projects including Sidekiq and Rails, and you can ask me about the open-source token-based authentication protocol I helped author for microservice architectures.

I enjoy discussing the future of technology and finding new and innovative ways to solve problems. I get a lot of inspiration from Andreesen-Horowitz's "a16z" podcast, and hope to someday I'll start my own tech venture.

When I'm not building great software, I like to ski, mountain bike, kayak or hike. I'm an amateur photographer and aspiring golfer, and I'll never turn down an offer for good sushi!

I'm always open to connecting with other technology practitioners, so please reach out and connect. If you're in the Denver area, let's meet up and share stories over a cup of coffee!
