I have had the pleasure to work with Jonathan for around a year, and I can only recommend him for any software development team.

He has the energy and passion, the vision, and technical expertise to drive a team, suggest roadmaps, and implement solutions at an amazing speed and quality. Our project had to manage a wide range of technologies (Maven, Typescript in Node, Jib, Helm, GitLab pipelines, build caching, parallel builds, etc.) and he has been helpful in all aspects.

I am glad I have had the opportunity of working with him, and so will be the engineers of any project he will decide to join in the future.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Jonathan during his time with our team, where he made an invaluable impact as an expert in Nx and Typescript. Jonathan immediately set himself apart by designing a clear and actionable path from our current state to the ideal state of monorepo management. His strategic vision, combined with his ability to communicate complex technical concepts in an understandable way, was a key driver in our team's success.

Jonathan's approach to challenging the status quo was marked by a great deal of empathy and thoroughness. His ability to balance constructive critique with a focus on long-term improvement was invaluable.

His commitment to mentoring developers across the organization and producing extensive documentation played a crucial role in making complex processes accessible to the broader team.

Jonathan is a true professional—highly knowledgeable, collaborative, and dedicated to improving the development experience for everyone around him. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role requiring deep technical expertise and a passion for driving impactful change.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with Jonathan for over two years at our organization, and I am thoroughly impressed by what he was able to achieve as a freelance Frontend Architect. Jonathan was entrusted with the challenge of leading our teams through the migration of a substantial legacy frontend codebase to a modern, state-of-the-art monorepo, employing a micro-frontend architecture utilizing Angular and Nx. This transition was monumental.

By the time of his departure, he had not only revolutionized our frontend development landscape but also equipped us with a solid foundation and the essential knowledge to keep innovating further. It felt to me like he moved a mountain, and it's incredible how much I learned from him.

I highly recommend Jonathan to any organization seeking a visionary in modern frontend solutions.

Working with Jonathan for some years now. He has proven to be a skilled architect, always aiming for solid, clean and maintainable solutions.

At the same time he's a great mentor and coach, taking the time (over and over again) to explain complex topics in an understandable way, while challenging people allowing them to improve.

Learned a lot from him both from a technical point of view as well as good developer mindset.

Definitely recommending him for a broad range of projects!
