Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Acker is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years' experience helping organisations deliver enterprise-scale systems, currently focused on Java backend development and Spring Boot APIs. A long-time advocate and coach of BDD and Domain Driven Design, he combines hands-on coding in Java, PHP and Python with mentoring teams on behaviour-driven processes and Agile practices. His recent fintech and clinical-trials projects show strengths in modelling complex business domains and rewriting legacy systems using reactive frameworks like Quarkus. Comfortable in cloud-native data pipelines (AWS, Airflow, Redshift, DynamoDB), he balances architecture thinking with practical delivery. Trained originally in computer science but with an MA in fine art, he brings a creative, model-driven approach to software design that helps translate ambiguous requirements into testable, maintainable systems.
