Alan Jones is a principal software engineer based in Raleigh with 13+ years of hands-on full‑stack experience building resilient web and mobile platforms. He has led architecture and rewrites, security audits, and scaling efforts at startups and product companies, most recently driving a platform overhaul at Marigold Health. A technical co‑founder experience at SchoolCal and varied consulting engagements (NFT marketplaces, genomic query engines, IoT time‑series pipelines) show he moves comfortably between product, infra, and data challenges. He pairs pragmatic engineering—favoring understanding and practicality—with strong process habits like sprint rhythm, Jira-driven planning, and developer onboarding. Early founder experience with Showgoers and research background in psychology give him a user-focused lens and an unusual mix of product intuition and statistical rigor. Colleagues describe him as curious and empathetic, preferring practical, auditable solutions over theoretical perfection.
