Jacob Weyer

Engineering Manager, DevOps at Built Technologies

I had the pleasure of working with and managing Jon for around ~7 months of his tenure at Built. Jon showed great promise and a knack for critical thinking that really helped us start the formation of our Site Reliability team at Built and his efforts focused around PagerDuty adoption, DataDog monitoring, terraform module creation and more showed that he's a strong and capable engineer. I would absolutely hire Jonathan again and bring him back into the fold. As he continues to learn he will be an ever increasing asset in any position he holds moving forward.

Johnny Cheng

SRE Manager, Kubernetes Administrator

I worked with Jon on the SRE team at Built and I was thoroughly impressed by with his abilities and his SRE mindset. As the SRE team, we had to respond quickly to improve our company's monitoring needs to mitigate future problems. He showed high proficiency with using Datadog, Cloudwatch and Terraform through our day to day. The team was comprised of people from multiple skill levels, Staff, Senior and mid-level and Jon produced the same quality work as everyone else.

Shaun Willis

Senior Software Engineer

Jon picked up seamlessly from where the previous contractor left off, ensuring the project remained on schedule. His technical expertise, ability to learn rapidly, and excellent communication skills were key in navigating this challenging transition. Aside from his technical prowess, Jon's interpersonal skills added value to our team, promoting a positive work environment. His forward-thinking and solution-oriented approach were critical in turning a potential setback into a project success.
