Jake User

I am a product-oriented technologist with eight years of experience designing and delivering complex, scalable systems end-to-end, from concept through production. I thrive in high-autonomy environments and combine broad technical depth with a user-first mindset and a bias for action.

I've led multi-team initiatives at $1B+ scale-ups, mentored engineers up to senior level, and architected high-impact systems that produced measurable business value. At Builder.ai I owned and delivered an idempotent Figma-to-React conversion service that processed ~40,000 requests per week and eliminated a $21M annual contractor cost.

My technical breadth spans TypeScript, NodeJS, NestJS, React, NextJS, Angular, AWS and observability and security tooling; I deliver full-stack features, infrastructure, and CI/CD with a strong focus on testability, performance, and operational reliability. At Elliptic I delivered a configurable VASP screening tool adopted by major clients including Binance, Coinbase, and Revolut.

I enjoy taking ownership across the stack, shaping requirements, shipping fast pragmatic MVPs and driving them to scale, while working cross-functionally with product and design to create customer-focused outcomes.
