# James Bayer
Product Leader at Flox building tools for deterministic, reproducible software environments.

## About

James Bayer leads product at Flox, where he builds tools that simplify complex engineering workflows. Before this, he ran product at FluidCloud and spent over five years at HashiCorp, along with time at Pivotal Software.

His work tackles the messy reality of modern software delivery—ensuring code runs consistently across laptops, CI runners, and agent-driven sandboxes. He focuses on making deterministic, reproducible builds practical for teams without requiring them to master Nix.
