Top SchoolJon Thompson is a Staff Frontend Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building and modernising high-traffic e-commerce frontends and design systems. He specialises in scalable JavaScript architectures—monorepos, module federation, Next.js and webpack 5—to deliver performant, maintainable applications used by millions. Currently consulting and previously leading a major re‑architecture at Next, he’s known for shipping one of the most stable large‑scale frontend systems in the company’s history.

Outside work he’s neurodivergent and festival‑loving, a detail that informs his collaborative, creative approach to problem solving.
