Hey, I'm Jared.

I'm a founder and engineering leader based in Southern California. I build and run the security and engineering function — at my own companies and fractionally for pre-Series-A teams that need that judgment without a full-time hire.

13+ years shipping production AI, distributed backend systems, and resilient multi-cloud infrastructure. Previously co-founded PopSocial (scaled engineering from 1 to 15+), and led security and engineering as a director at Lavender, BlockFi, InsideTrack, and AAMP Global.

I write about AI engineering, Elixir, security, and what it actually takes to ship at small-team scale.
