ABOUT ME

MATT JONES - Technology Strategist

Writing software is fun.  Especially large scale, complex web applications.  I'm equally comfortable working on a strategy to help make an application scale to support orders of magnitude more users as developing a plan to make an application more intuitive for the users.  I've been doing this long enough to be very flexible when it comes to languages and platforms.What drives me is technically challenging work that delivers business value.

In addition to the skills listed below, I also understand the language of "Business" very well.  Often, I find myself serving a team as a translator between the business and the engineering teams.

As a manager, I enjoy mentoring leads & programmers and honing our skills together.  I've successfully built teams from scratch as well as assumed leadership over existing teams.  But I love writing software, so even if I am in a primarily management role, I'll find a way to contribute on a technical level.  Regarding delivery, I'm a big fan of agile methodologies, microservices, and continuous delivery.

When it comes to integrating OAS in the development process, […]

Why I am choosing inclusive language in technology this Juneteenth, and how you can too!

In the course of writing software or security policies, we often need to specifically allow some items or exclude other items.  For years, most software development teams have referred to these as “whitelists” and “blacklists.”  Examples include only allowing (whitelist) or blocking (blacklist) traffic from a set of known IP addresses.   In recent years, software […]
