Jake Hash

Software Engineer • Product Builder • Open Source Enthusiast

I'm a full stack engineer and technical leader passionate about building robust, scalable web and mobile applications. My expertise spans modern JavaScript frameworks, Ruby on Rails, and cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience in DevOps and automation using Terraform, AWS, and GitHub Actions. Throughout my career, I've always prioritized user experience—crafting products that are not only powerful, but also intuitive and delightful to use.

– VP of Engineering

WorkHands was my first job out of college, and I joined the team after finding the opportunity on AngelList. It's been an incredible journey growing with the company from those early days to leading engineering today.
