Software Engineer

Building GIJON Tech (opens in a new tab)

Hi, I'm Jon — a software engineer who likes making complicated things feel straightforward. I build the parts of an app that keep information moving, then shape the experience people see and use. It started almost by accident: one small program that actually worked, and I was hooked. Everything after that was deliberate — courses, a day job paying for evening study, and a lot of practice nobody was watching. Have a look around: the work, how I got here, and the photographs and films I make once the laptop finally closes.
