About

Hi, I’m Jacob Osdin, a versatile software engineer with a strong foundation in backend development, system architecture, and cross-team collaboration. I’ve contributed to large-scale platforms at ReliaQuest, including Searchlight (DRP) and GreyMatter (Open XDR), delivering scalable APIs and robust tooling.

Previously, I built API and CI/CD systems at The Hut Group and led teams through migrations and rapid bug fixes. I’m motivated by solving complex problems, mentoring colleagues, and exploring new places—on the football pitch or during travel.
