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, 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 since 2002 (I started young) and am comfortable working in multiple technology stacks: Clojure, PHP, Python, Javascript/NodeJS, SQL, C, and LISP/Scheme generally, Janet-lang being my current favorite. I've worked on projects from AI, robotics, E-commerce, high-performance servers, web apps, etc.

Why work with me?

• I have the experience to get the job done. Including the hard jobs. My long experience allows me to jump in across many technologies and roles.
• Communication: keeping you informed and providing the information you need. I am comfortable communicating both in technical terms with your most experienced engineers, and negotiating in the boardroom.
• Ability to deliver a project on time and for a fixed fee.

Ok, so I have a lot of things I can do, what is the one thing I do? That would be DevOps — getting software into production & running it well.

I offer "packaged" DevOps services, would you like me to:

Run your systems on a private cloud that I operate. Think PaaS level, you don't need to care about scaling, OS upgrades, etc. and you can freely "look under the hood" at any time and I am there to answer questions.

-or-

Optimize your use of public clouds like AWS, GCP etc. Handling the ops related tasks so they don't distract your existing team, and able to jump into help debug issues, no matter how deep in the stack they go.

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

Other things I am doing:

• Writing a technical newsletter On Software Engineering
• Phoenix — an open source, multi-host process supervisor.
