Your team has better days ahead.
I'm Jonathan. For more than ten years I have led engineering teams, and I help people do their best work, with AI as part of how they build.
I hired more than fifteen engineers, and several people I mentored were promoted. That is the part of the job I am proudest of.
20+ years in software ยท 10+ years leading teams
What it's like to work with me
How I work, in detailYou always know where you stand
We talk every week. Reviews are clear and regular, and nothing arrives as a surprise.
Hard things get said early
I put trade-offs on the table with their cost, so Product and engineering decide together.
People grow
I give engineers room to take on bigger problems, and I stay close while they do.
Where I've done it

- Fintech unicornPayments for small businesses, a subscription launch across teams
- Retail computer visionSix years, a team of up to eight
