Who writes your software matters — and my team proves it

Your team matters.

When I stepped away from my one-woman consultancy in 2021, it was with the aim of expanding my professional circle — to find the kind of brilliant, grounded developers who thrive on complex systems, strange edge cases, and too many moving parts... just like me. At Trajan, I finally found that.

My team — and my architects Amit Kulkarni and Ryan McCloskey in particular — are hands down the most talented group I’ve ever worked with. What they built before I arrived was impressive enough. What we’ve built together still drops my jaw.

We engineered a dynamic onboarding system that auto-generates hundreds of pages of custodial forms via Quik — with no advisor rekeying — and ties into a funding engine that reconciles advisor intent with transaction reality. We gave the customer service team point-and-click control over a complex case management UI that safely escrows client data changes until the required documents are signed. We even wrapped client data in a secure, external GraphQL API for mobile and portal use. This is the kind of work I specialize in — high-stakes, high-complexity, bespoke solutions.

My Salesforce consulting journey began nearly 20 years ago on a leap of faith — that my ability to bridge business needs with innovative solutions was enough to build a company. And it was for 13 years, without loans, investors, or would-be partners who insisted I needed them. I never outsourced development to an anonymous horde of developers, because who writes it matters.

I’m incredibly lucky to have found partners who share that belief — and who can walk the walk, not just sell the pitch.

Jessie has spent 20+ years architecting and delivering software for organizations where complexity is the norm — financial services, insurance, nonprofits, and regulated industries where getting it wrong isn't an option. She specializes in the hard problems: unique operational workflows, cross-system integrations, and the kind of compliance requirements (HIPAA, CCPA, SOC 2) that most developers treat as someone else's job.

At Codality, she leads every principal engagement from discovery through delivery — because she's seen what happens when that thread gets cut.
