Jared Heath Lerner (born May 31, 1985, in Queens, New York and currently residing in Manhattan) is an American sports nut and programmer, with degrees from Washington University in St. Louis (Computer Science/Accounting) and New York University (MBA). Despite Jared's birthplace, he is not a fan of the New York Mets, but rather, a diehard Yankees fan. He is also an avid supporter of the New York Giants, the New York Knicks and New Jersey Devils, and would love to meet future hall of fame goaltender Martin Brodeur and future hall of fame quarterback Eli Manning some day. Jared's favorite sport (and fantasy sport) is baseball, although most of his contributions on Wikipedia have been done to hockey articles.
From September 2007 to October 2008, Jared worked as a software engineer for Sungard Data Systems near the Wall Street area of Manhattan. He then joined Confirmit Inc. as a Professional Services Consultant, and helped pave the way for the Norwegian analytics firm by closing over 5,000 support tickets in his 6+ year tenure there. In 2016, Jared joined artificial intelligence and computer vision startup Clarifai, where he built out the entire Support Engineering department from the ground up and ran it by himself for three and a half years. He also led the company's world-renowned Cheer Enforcement Task Force to help enhance the company's culture and morale, and successfully oversaw two heralded company-wide Olympics competitions in 2018 and 2019. Jared began his first foray into the advertising world by joining Ad-Tech startup TripleLift in August 2019, where he resolved many complex platform issues and wrote a plethora of Python scripts while also mentoring many Junior team members. He started his current role as Head of Support at fintech startup CorpAxe in November 2020, and continues to oversee the performance of the entire Support organization and help drive improvements with engineering, product and business teams to make the platform as awesome as possible.
In his spare time, Jared enjoys playing with his chunky Domestic Short Haired cat Juliet, karaoke, traveling to crazy places and drumming.
