Jake Rush

Hey there. I’m a product engineer building software for media, ads, and AI.

I’m happiest turning an idea into something real. I care about momentum and getting useful software into people’s hands, not polishing code for its own sake. Good docs, thoughtful collaboration, and diffs that tell a clear story go a long way. My full project list is here.

These days I’m running Hatchway, where I consult on software at the intersection of media and AI. Before that I spent several years building products at Eventbrite and ToneDen (acquired in 2020). Somewhere along the way I picked up a patent, too.

Away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me watching F1 or college football, exploring Napa wineries, sneaking in an early round of golf, or rewatching Christopher Nolan and David Fincher. I keep a running list of what I’m reading and rating here.
