Jay Gengelbach — Software Engineer
I'm a software engineering leader who operates across the full stack of both technical and people leadership: - Writing code - Planning and project management - Incident command - Design and architecture - Technical strategy - Mentorship - Org design and staffing strategy - Engineering culture and practices - Executive alignment and advocacy My expertise is in backend and infrastructural software, including web-scale data storage and analysis, resource efficiency, productionization and reliability, and distributed system architecture. In my time at Google and Vercel, I've worked on some of the largest and most complex software systems on the planet. I like to say that I'd rather scale a system from 1 to 10 than build from 0 to 1. I like transforming functional-but-rickety systems for unprecedented scale.
