Jeff Schwab — Software Consulting

Make it right.Make it fast.Make it beautiful.

Jeff Schwab

I’m Jeff Schwab, a software consultant with 25+ years of experience in the finance, health, advertising, and semiconductor industries. I am a former employee of Google, IBM, Bloomberg, Sun Microsystems, and several exited startups.

I am now available for short-term contracts and scoped projects where quality and maintainability are paramount.

What I do

  • Systems and application development in Rust, C++, Python, and TypeScript
  • Design review before implementation begins
  • Code audits of correctness-critical components
  • Build, test, and tooling infrastructure that makes failures reproducible
  • Mentoring and technical training for your engineers

How I work

I focus on tightly scoped projects with a defined deliverable and an end date. We agree up front on what “done” means and which part of the system is in scope; I work on that part and hand it back finished. Where the right answer is a larger change, I’ll say so and quote it as its own project. Audits work the same way: I report what I find by the agreed date, and any work that follows is its own project.

Start here

Send me a paragraph about what you are building: what it does, what it must never get wrong, and when you need it. We can then schedule a chat, and work together to set the scope, price, and end date.
