Background

About Jonathan Eadie

I am Co-Founder and CTO at Shoutt. Finding freelance gigs shouldn’t feel like a part-time job. Yet, most freelancers spend hours hunting for quality gigs, only to get buried under hundreds of other applicants—or worse, end up sifting through low-paying gigs and vague briefs. That’s where Shoutt comes in. We do the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what actually matters—landing great projects and growing your business. So how did I get here? I've always been passionate about building products and using technology to tackle real-world problems. I'm action-oriented and thrive on innovation and leadership. I have 15 years of experience in Full-Stack Web Development and 5 years in Machine Learning (ML) and Cloud Technologies. I have always been interested in working in a startup and this seems as good a time as any! Previously, I worked at Baillie Gifford, where I was played a big part in launching their first systematic investment strategy using machine learning (ML). As an Investment Data Scientist, I developed ML models in Python to predict company growth and share price returns, and oversaw the ML Ops team. Through this experience I learned a lot about equity investing, company financials and machine learning. In addition to this role, at the same time I was also a Software Development Manager for the Investment Research Team where I led a team of six, driving the development of innovative tools and systems. Notably, I spearheaded the creation of a tool to automatically translate highly formatted Chinese Annual Reports to English. I also previously worked at Amazon as a Technical Program Manager. I was the manager of 3 projects including 9 Software Developers in the Dynamic Advertising team. I was responsible for driving business growth of Mobile App Advertising and Amazon Instant Video advertising on third party sites and applications. I learnt a lot in my short time at Amazon, particularly about innovation, leadership and culture which has helped me a lot in my career since.
