About Jason Spangler

I’m a Staff Software Engineer focused on building scalable frontend platforms and shaping how modern software is developed in the age of AI.Over the past decade at Nintex (formerly Skuid), I’ve worked across the full spectrum of engineering — from hands-on development to leading teams — and now operate at the intersection of architecture, product, and developer experience. My focus today is on designing systems that enable others to move faster, build better, and deliver more value with less friction.I’m currently leading efforts around: • AI-driven product development and agent-assisted workflows • Modernizing frontend architecture through a React-based design system • Defining AI-assisted development practices (FDLC) across teams • Building low-code/no-code platforms that empower enterprise usersI care deeply about creating software that is both powerful and intuitive — for developers and end users alike. Whether through platform design, system architecture, or mentoring engineers, I aim to elevate how teams build and deliver software.Outside of work, I’m a husband and father who enjoys spending time with my family and our (very full) house of pets.
