* Technologies
Golang, Javascript, Java, shell scripting. Too much random experience with OSS libraries and programs to list them. Experience designing collaborative features using operational transforms.
* Resume:
- 2016 Jan-Apr: Tried bootstrapping interviewing startup. Didn't look promising, so I'm back on the job market.
- 2010-2015: Google Inc. Worked on Docs. Designed and built features on the front end with teams, but I also did significant work on the server backend. Notable projects include Suggest Changes and Offline, both of which launched at Google I/O.
- 2008-2010: Sarnoff Corporation. Worked as a systems engineer at a computer vision research lab. Integration code for small hardware units (PTU, cameras, robots), and also lots of system design work.
* Quotes
"Jake has a good sense for design that is grounded in pragmatism. This allows him to produce designs that are scalable and maintainable, but that can also be delivered within reasonable time frames. He [...] helped offset my tendency to overdesign."
"While working together with him on [large project] I was able to trust that he was going to follow through with any requests or open questions with no supervision."
"Jake’s a great subject matter expert for many areas of the system. Even after the initial implementation work of [project], I would still consult him when touching [it] months later. I really appreciated his advice and insight when I consulted him."
