@jayberning
I connect engineering vision to execution through technical delivery and operations.
What I'm looking for
At Everykey, I directed a $300K joint engineering initiative with HP, translating customer requirements into roadmaps, milestones, epics, user stories, and release plans across an 18-month engagement.
I work where software engineering, operations, project delivery, and customer execution meet. I modernized Everykey’s browser extension from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3, improved its UI and architecture across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, recruited and onboarded four engineers in eight weeks, and built operational processes supporting enterprise trials and SOC 2 readiness.
Earlier at Root, part of Accenture, I spent more than a decade building digital learning applications, reducing build time by 40%, automating workflows to reduce task time by 90%, and leading a framework modernization that cut production time by more than 50%. I enjoy turning ambiguous goals into plans that teams can execute.
