Summary
Jonah Howard is a Software Development Engineer III with 10 years of experience building scalable web applications and cloud-native systems, currently at Workday after roles at Amazon and Red Hat. He blends full-stack Java and React development with strong DevOps practices—containerizing apps on OpenShift, building CI/CD pipelines, and designing event-driven, serverless services on AWS. Jonah has led microservice decompositions, performance-sensitive APIs, and service mesh implementations, often volunteering for challenging problems and mentoring junior engineers. Comfortable in both hands-on implementation and client-facing consulting, he pairs a systems-thinking approach from his Computer Science training with a pragmatic focus on maintainability and team cohesion. An underappreciated strength is his repeated role in translating legacy monoliths into resilient distributed systems while keeping strict performance and operational requirements in mind.
