Hi, I’m Jacob Manfre, a senior full-stack engineer and technical lead with a focus on JavaScript/TypeScript, web-based 3D and interactive experiences, and cloud-delivered products. I own architecture through release and collaborate across teams to ship reliable, scalable experiences from concept to production. I’m passionate about improving UX quality and performance through instrumentation, observability, scalable front-end patterns, and disciplined CI/CD. I also apply AI/ML techniques for automation and quality signals, such as content validation and anomaly detection, to reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
