Hi, I'm Will Jessop, currently the now part time CTO of Impactive looking for new opportunities in Rails application scaling and performance or technical leadership. Technically I have a huge amount of experience in scaling and optimising Ruby on Rails applications, Postgres database performance and scalable application architecture. I also have a lot of experience managing a team of 19 people, mostly engineers. I'm product focussed, and among other successes re-orged the product pipeline at Impactive to improve delivery reliability and quality outcomes, while drastically improving staff morale.
