Jason A. Hoffman is a founder and the CTO of Joyent, an on-demand infrastructure and cloud computing company that serves billions of page views and traffics hundreds of millions of emails per month. Joyent is dedicated to the singular mission that developers should be able to start at a small scale and flex to a global scale with minimal friction. Joyent is among the world’s largest OpenSolaris installations and while supporting all unix-based languages and data stores, Joyent’s products have included the first production support of Ruby on Rails, inclusion of the ZFS file system, and Joyent’s DTrace-enabled Ruby ships on MacOS X Leopard and soon on OpenSolaris.
Jason is a systems scientist with BS and MS degrees from UCLA, and a PhD from UCSD, and is an expert in scalable architectures. He has applied his knowledge and experience from the Web to Games to Computational Chemistry, Proteomics and Cancer biology.
