Summary
Jessica Rowbottom is a seasoned systems architect and technical project manager with 12+ years building Linux-hosted full-stack applications and large-scale web systems, currently shaping production scheduling, CRM and financial tooling at a marine technology firm. She brings deep backend expertise (PHP/Laravel, MariaDB/Mongo, Node) and hands-on sysadmin/devops experience from running ISPs and domain registries in the 1990s to managing 150TB database footprints. Comfortable both at the development coalface and in strategic discussions with executives, she’s repeatedly parachuted into rescue and greenfield projects to restore planning and business continuity. A pragmatic technologist who believes in the right tool for the job, she pairs that with project delivery skills (Scrum/Kanban, Jenkins) and repeat client engagements. Outside engineering she’s an accomplished musician and DJ who leverages performance and community work—recently administering Mastodon servers—and actively campaigns for LGBT+ rights.
