Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJon Linnell is a Technical Lead based in London with 11 years of experience designing and shipping cloud-native systems using Node.js, React and the broader JavaScript ecosystem. An AWS-certified solutions architect, he has built high-performance serverless services with Lambda, API Gateway and DynamoDB and stabilised production platforms under pressure. As a hands-on people manager he’s led and mentored cross-functional teams, emphasising psychological safety, autonomy and pragmatic architectural discipline to help engineers grow. He combines product-focused delivery with a taste for low-cost, maintainable infrastructure—skills honed managing IT for a new university campus and later scaling customer-facing systems. Colleagues describe him wryly as a “surprisingly articulate primate,” which reflects both his clear communication and dry sense of humour.
