Profile: https://flows.cv/jasonederle

I'm an iOS & AI technology leader with 20+ years of experience building products that scale to millions of users. Recently completed multiple successful product exits and now focused on pioneering AI technologies.

Currently full time Senior Staff Software Engineer at Cantina AI. In my spare time I'm developing custom trained ML models for child safe story telling products, and custom diffusion image generation models for my company Funly. While I'm full stack, I'm most focused on iOS app engineering, and machine learning work.

I bring deep technical expertise across the full technology stack, from iOS development, Next.js dev, PyTorch Lightning ML training for LoRA adapters, and Unity 3D low level graphics and shader development. I've architected and shipped products at Apple, Google, Facebook, Airbnb, TikTok, and most recently at Cantina AI. I have a proven track record of taking complex technical challenges from concept to production at Fortune 500 scale, and even successfully exiting products at my company Funly.

I'm passionate about leveraging cutting-edge AI to create safer, more engaging digital experiences for the next generation while maintaining the technical rigor and execution standards I learned building products used by hundreds of millions of people. My single focus has never changed... build amazing stuff that I'd enjoy using, and success follows.
