👤
SeniorJon Stanford is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building secure, production-grade software across mobile, backend, and IoT domains. Based in the Nashville area, he blends deep Android expertise—from leading UI work on the popular AOKP firmware used by over 100,000 users—to server-side Java and serverless Python systems. A security-focused practitioner, Jon holds GWAPT and multiple SANS trainings (secure coding, DevOps, mobile and advanced penetration testing) and was an inaugural member of an internal security leadership group at Asurion. He champions CI/CD automation, having authored custom Maven, Gradle, and Terraform plugins to streamline delivery pipelines. Recently he’s expanded into IoT firmware, PCB prototyping, and GPIO-driven devices while continuing to ship polished user interfaces. His side projects (see jbird.dev) reflect a hands-on tinkerer mentality that pairs exploit-aware security thinking with pragmatic engineering.
