Profile: https://flows.cv/ryanjacobsen

I’m a San Francisco–based software engineer with 4+ years of experience turning complex ideas into high-quality products. I began at the University of Florida (BSc in Electrical Engineering) and honed my skills as the first engineering hire at Broadcast—where I built LLM-driven meeting note and audio AI solutions—and through freelance work.

I’m proficient in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Elixir, Ruby, and Rails, and enjoy working across the stack using technologies such as React, Node.js, GraphQL, Docker, AWS, and Postgres. I also dabble in PCB design and audio DSP.

I thrive on creativity and collaboration, and I love building products that truly resonate with users.
