Summary
Jason Kingsmill is a Technical Lead with eight years of software engineering experience and a longer career background in embedded systems and field support, now based in the Greater Newcastle Area. He designs and delivers cloud-native, event-driven microservice architectures using .NET Core, AWS/Azure, message-driven patterns (MassTransit/SQS-SNS), Docker/ECS, and modern observability and CI/CD practices. At Opteon he translated enterprise solution designs into sprint-ready work for greenfield systems, owning architecture decisions, YAML pipelines, and cross-team escalations. Jason pairs hands-on coding (C#, EF Core, Postgres/DynamoDB, ElasticSearch) with practical ops experience from his earlier hardware and device-integration roles, which gives him an uncommon fluency in end-to-end system reliability. He’s a pragmatic, lifelong learner who favors cleanly scoped solutions that scale and who has repeatedly moved from device-level troubleshooting into platform-level engineering leadership.
