Jarred Taylor
Software engineer at AWS working on cloud and distributed systems.
I build software and invest in the infrastructure behind modern finance and computing.
Some things about me:- Grew up in St. Louis, MO
- Played college football, then left to serve in the Air Force doing airborne surveillance
- Taught myself to code, then earned a BASc in Applied Computing from U of Arizona
- Earned a Master of Science in Finance from Georgetown University
- Lean on first principles, not trends.
- Pursue real expertise in a craft. Mine spans distributed systems and finance.
- Focus on one task for an uncomfortably long time.
- There's alpha in the menial work most people delegate away.
- Think in writing. Store the notes and voice memos so ideas compound.
- Original ideas come from uncommon inputs. Read what others overlook.
- Juncture Lab, the GitHub for portfolio managers. Real historical markets with the dates hidden, so your track record is skill, not hindsight.
- Journalot, a journaling tool for developers
- TaylorTech, turning prototype code into production-ready systems in about a week
- Through Juncture Capital, I invest in and acquire the APIs, platforms, and tools that move money and data
- Seed checks between $25k and $100k+, usually after we've worked together
