Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Field is a veteran engineering leader with 18+ years of experience building web systems, developer teams, and offline educational technology. He has led development from first-hire coder to Director of Development at Zappos, overseeing architecture, hiring, and a $25M warehouse automation delivery that cut projected costs dramatically. More recently he helped design and ship RACHEL, a widely deployed offline WiFi education server, combining hands-on engineering with production automation for global impact. Comfortable across Perl, PHP, Java, C++, SQL and Linux/Unix environments, he blends technical depth with pragmatic project management to prevent over-engineering and improve workflow. Equally at home training teachers in South African schools as he is building developer teams, he brings rare cross-cultural empathy and a maker’s creativity—he’s also an occasional filmmaker and musician. Based in Henderson, NV, Jonathan focuses on practical, mission-driven technology that scales to real-world constraints.
