"While I had heard good things about Jonathan for a few years, I first got the opportunity to work directly with him when we set up the team creating monitors for IBM's cloud mail service. Jonathan took on the responsibility to design, test, implement and deploy the monitors that tested the experience of the end-user, both from a web client and from a rich client point of view, creating both a synthetics probe as well as leveraging the APIs to trigger under-the-covers functionality of the service."

"He approached the problem methodically, bringing along junior developers and ultimately providing an insight into the health of end-user side of the service that was far beyond anything that had been available before that. His understanding of the flexibility of Spring and its nuances meant that the end result was flexible, configurable and reliable, delivering the metrics to the monitoring services used by the NOC. All in all, Jonathan is a very skillful developer who also has the ability to see the big picture and deliver what's needed to solve a problem. I can't recommend him highly enough - he's a terrific addition to any organisation."

Brendan Murray, Senior Technical Staff Member @ IBM

"I worked with Jonathan at BSB for two years. Being my first development job, it was great having Jonathan as my team lead. He took the time to help me improve my development skills through code reviews and showed me best practices within the industry. A very driven individual, I remember him completing a Masters in Cloud Computing on the side during his evenings. Couldn't recommend Jonathan highly enough and hopefully I get to work with him again in the future."

Ferghal Smyth, Software Engineer @ RecX

"I worked with Jonathan for a little over a year on a spring based project to black box test functionality of our product. I was part of a small team who reported to Jonathan. He had great grasp of the complexities it would take to see the product to completion, was very approachable with issues and he was a very effective team member, both working on his own and in a group."

James Malone, Software Developer @ Citi

"I worked closely with Jonathan on our Red Zone monitoring probes for IBM SmartCloud Notes Messaging. These probes were instrumental in assessing service health, successful mail delivery and were modified as new capabilities were added to the service. Jonathan was responsive, inquisitive, and communicated process and status well. I knew that I could rely upon him to get to the bottom of any issues in the probes (or service) and to propose solutions to ensure monitors were reliable. Jonathan is an asset to any team he's on."
