Bio
Michael Armes
Jonathan is one of those coworkers that make coming to work fun and engaging. He took to his work with great enthusiasm and was always looking to contribute more and stretch his skills as a developer. He sought and received feedback gracefully and grew in leaps and bounds. He is a "rising star" that I'm sure will go far.
John Franti
Jonathan is a fantastic hire. He is a tenacious problem solver, clear and efficient communicator, and an excellent engineer. He is comfortable in many settings, from public speaking to in-depth, intense, individual work. I heartily recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to add an enterprising developer, with a growth-mindset, to their team. You'll see his value immediately.
