Jon Jaques is a seasoned full-stack developer with 14 years of experience building scalable web and IoT platforms, currently shaping engineering at Best Buy after leading architecture and DevOps at Alula. He combines hands-on JavaScript expertise with cloud-native practices—Docker, Terraform, AWS—and a track record of consolidating CI/CD pipelines, migrating colocation to AWS, and instrumenting platforms with OpenTelemetry for production observability. Jon has delivered large-scale consumer and enterprise-facing systems (supporting 300,000+ devices) and built SDKs and cross-platform apps while serving as the primary third-party integration contact. Grounded in a design background (BFA in Graphic Design), he brings a strong sense of UX to technical architecture and a knack for turning fragmented repo sprawl into reliable, automated delivery pipelines.
