# Jason Chew > Full Stack Software Engineer. Experienced with Node.js, Python, React, PostgreSQL, GCP, VertexAI Location: Greater San Luis Obispo Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jasonchew I’m a full-stack software engineer with a background in mathematics and several years of experience building production systems at an early-stage startup. I work primarily across TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, designing and delivering features that support real customer workflows. My focus is on building systems that are clear, maintainable, and scalable as products grow. Before transitioning into software development, I spent several years in academia studying mathematics. That background continues to influence how I approach engineering problems, especially around system design, performance, and reasoning about complexity. Working on a small engineering team has taught me to take strong ownership of features and carefully prioritize engineering effort. I enjoy evaluating different technical paths forward and balancing business impact, development time, and the long-term health of the codebase. ## Work Experience ### L4 Software Engineer @ AI Insurance Jan 2025 – Present | San Luis Obispo, CA ● Owned and delivered new features for an insurance management platform using technologies including Typescript, Next.js, React, and PostgreSQL. ● Led development of the AI document parsing features (VertexAI integration). ● Maintained and expanded upon a distributed system across GCP, email service, and APIs for document ingestion (email-to-app submission pipeline). ### L3 Software Engineer @ AI Insurance Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco, CA ● Participated in architectural decisions and wrote technical design documentation for new systems, emphasizing usability, modularity, and long-term maintainability. ● Scaled the platform’s Stripe integration allowing users to handle site-managed invoices/payments to third parties. ● Implemented a versioning system for customer-specific configuration of custom logic to support repeatable and auditable pricing by customers. ### Full Stack Engineer @ AI Insurance Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco, CA ● Delivered on new features including search functionality powered by Elasticsearch API and UI for displaying data over time. ● Reviewed pull requests and upheld engineering standards to maintain quality and consistency across the codebase. ### Software Engineering Assistant @ App Academy Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area ● Debugs issues with React, backend servers (express, flask…), and deployment of applications, assisting clients in pushing fixes and new features to production regularly and quickly ● Administers mock technical interviews to sharpen data structures and algorithms (DS&A) skills for over 20 job-seekers ● Consults on systems design and UI/UX for software developers, providing feedback to make full stack applications more professional, secure, and intuitive ### Student @ App Academy Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Teacher @ Futures Academy Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Pleasanton, California, United States Managed the curriculum for 10+ different high school math and science courses simultaneously Maintained the coursework, exam schedule, and assignment grading for approximately 10 students at any time Tailored course curriculum to the learning needs of individual students between 8th-12th grade ### Teaching Assistant @ University of California, Santa Cruz Jan 2016 – Jan 2021 | Oakland, California, United States Assisted in the instruction and development of an upper level Computational Mathematics course on computer arithmetic and numerical methods for scientific modeling of data.
