Summary
Jeff Espenschied is a seasoned software engineer and staff-level contributor based in Columbus, Ohio, with 13 years of experience delivering data-driven web applications. He is currently a Staff Engineer at Thangs3D, where he continues to blend hands-on coding with technical leadership. At DataRobot, he progressed from building the data catalog UI to leading a six-person team focused on data management and connectivity, and later returned to individual contributor work on API client development and integrated notebook experiences. His early career was rooted in C for high-performance and embedded systems, but he has spent the past decade crafting web applications using .NET, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and a range of languages including C#, JavaScript, F#, and shell scripting. He favors using established frameworks to build robust applications rather than writing new frameworks from scratch, and his experience spans from servers and databases to front-end and API integration. He studied at The Ohio State University and Ohio Northern University, bringing a strong foundation to his delivery-focused approach.
