Welcome

Hello!

It is nice to meet you. My name is Jordan Schatz. I am a software engineer and entrepreneur. How can I help you?

I've worked for small companies, big companies, non-profits, start ups, fortune 500s, and governments. I've had multiple stints as CTO, I enjoy leading teams, and building things solo. I have been writing software professionally since 2008. I have experience in a long list of technology stacks but today prefer to focus on Rust, C, and Lisp.

• Experience is useful, and I have quite a bit of it. Both from the amount of time I've spent doing software engineering but also from varied projects I've had the opportunity to participate on or lead. (A chronically out of date resume is here)
• Communication. I am comfortable talking with company executives, your most experienced engineering talent, and customers. There are no dumb technical questions, and I want all stakeholders to understand.
• Ability to deliver a project on time and for a fixed fee.

1. DevOps consulting — want to improve your cloud or on premises software delivery?
2. System Engineering — I write (or modify existing) high performance system level tools. Web servers, proxies, hypervisors, storage solutions, etc.
3. Performance problems — Need to track down, or solve, a gnarly performance issue?
4. Business problems — if there is something that would really impact your business and a technical solution might be possible, lets chat.

Interested in working together? Email me at jordan@jordanschatz.com

(Note: My consulting work is currently backlogged, there is a waiting list and I don't plan to take on additional projects until January 2026).

Other things I am doing:

• Writing a technical newsletter On Software Engineering
• Building something new. What if the entire cloud was accessible behind a docker API? Coming sometime in 2026.
