Jonathan Wallace — Director of Engineering
With many years of experience as an individual contributor, manager and, most recently, an engineering manager at the wildly successful scale-up Prize Picks, I have a passion for creating innovative and impactful web applications that solve real-world problems. I have worked on projects ranging from a geo-fenced mobile app for a non-profit, to a CB radio-like prototype using Skype APIs, to short stint in impactful public service, to logistics and shipping software. As a software enthusiast and a people grower, I constantly seek to challenge myself and those around me to reach higher standards of excellence in pursuit of justice, freedom, and a better world for all. I also have a strong sense of civic duty and community engagement, having run for the Georgia House District 119 thrice, and serving as the State Representative once.
