Versatile generalist engineering leader, skilled in security/compliance, operations/process improvement, and Infrastructure/DevOps architecture.
I'm a generalist engineering leader, mixing experience in large-scale architecture, security, operations and sales together to provide you with both advice and work that is both rock-solid and futureproof, as well as accounting for areas you didn't realise might need focus. I've worked across government, financial services, startups and FTSE100 clients, and I love nothing more than to bring that wealth of experience into new exciting environments.

Projects

Emergency Database Optimisation - Rebud

Called in to act as a database engineer and incident response commander during an outage on 4/20 for a California-based Marijuana retail distribution and delivery firm caused by an overloaded database instance. Triaged issue, communicated with the client and rolled out several Postgres Schema fixes to restore service, preventing over $5 million dollars in retail losses. Testimonial: "Jon has been always been someone we could rely on with whatever we’ve asked him for. Jon saved us on our biggest eCommerce day of the year, stepping in when we had a critical database sharding failure, identified, proposed solutions, and rolled out a fix for this complex infrastructure failure before our customers even realised what had happened. I can't speak highly enough to Jon's professionalism and calmness in a crisis."See More
