Jacob Hinkston is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building resilient full‑stack systems across energy, defense, and enterprise domains. He combines Java back-end expertise (Spring, Hibernate, microservices) with modern front-end skills (React, TypeScript, MaterialUI) and operational experience running large Kubernetes fleets and CI/CD pipelines on GCP. Jacob has delivered mission-critical, high‑availability platforms—managing hundreds of microservices and optimizing BESS and geo-spatial systems—while driving test‑driven development and automation. Comfortable bridging hardware and software integration, he’s equally adept rewriting complex PL/SQL for ERP performance as he is shaping cloud-native deployment patterns. Based in the Medford–Grants Pass area, he brings a pragmatic, reliability-first mindset and a track record of improving system throughput and maintainability at scale.
