Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJón Arason is a Lead Developer based in Iceland with over a decade of experience building scalable web services, serverless backends, and modern React frontends. He co-founded Slidesome and has a strong track record of shipping .NET Core and Node.js services on AWS Lambda, leveraging managed data stores like DynamoDB and S3 and single-table design for high-performance access. Jón led web teams at CCP and helped migrate multiple products to cloud-native architectures, CI/CD, and server-side rendering patterns. He favors Jamstack and serverless-first designs, routinely combining Vercel, Cloudflare, S3/R2 and API Gateway to minimize ops and egress costs. A lifelong tinkerer who started coding at 12 with Delphi and built a popular Icelandic online game in 2007, he brings a product-minded curiosity to both frontend UX and backend architecture. Colleagues know him as a pragmatic technical lead who can rapidly prototype integrations (Dropbox, Instagram, Google APIs) while thinking deeply about cost, performance and operational simplicity.
