About

Who is this guy?

Hiya, I’m Jackson Gabbard. I’m a coder and builder. Professionally, I’ve moved around between individual contributor, technical lead, and manager roles. I worked at Facebook for a long time, co-founding the Facebook London office among other things. Now I’m a startup co-founder trying to make a big splash in the SaaS space. I care a lot about equalising tech and life in general, really. I’m a privileged white guy who tries never to take that for granted.

Am I looking for a job?

No, I’m currently happily working at Cord as a co-founder and CTO. We’re hiring though. You should come and work with us.

  1. You built a website for McGuigan & Associates in Nashville, TN
    What would be the cost for you to build me one similar to theirs?
    They always come up no. 1 in a google search.

    1. Hi Stephen, thanks for the comment. I’m no longer in Nashville and no longer do freelance work. If you’re interested in finding someone in the Nashville area to handle building a site for you, I’d push you to check out Chris Bradshaw at http://www.nashvilleinteractive.com/. He and I worked together at echomusic once upon a time. He’s a great guy and a solid web developer who can help you create the kind of site you’re aiming for. Hope that’s helpful!

    1. Good question! If I knew the answer, I would totally tell you. I started working full-time again, so I haven’t had time to devote to videos. What would you want a video on?

  2. hi Jackson
    first, thank you so much for all the content you create. I have learned so much from you and I hope you can teach me one more thing if you have the time!
    I have an interview with Doordash and I am a junior Android developer with only 2 years of experience. now this company wants to have a systems design chat with me but frankly, I have never done them and I am not sure what I should expect as a junior dev and what I have to say. all I know is that this interview is only for mobile systems design questions and does not go into the backend or anything like that. let me know if you have any idea what I should do or say.
    PS I have already watched your videos on systems design and they were amazing but like I said I need more info.

    thank you in advance!
