Jonathan Blocksom is a seasoned engineering leader with 14+ years delivering large-scale, customer-facing platforms and a current focus as Senior Director of Capital One’s Trade Credit Platform. He has led organizations of 25–200+ engineers to launch high-impact products—from virtual card integrations featured at Google I/O to scaling a conversational AI from 1M to 20M users—combining product intuition with deep technical chops. An early expert in iOS, computer vision, and 3D graphics, he built the award-winning children’s 3D modeler GollyGee and has taught advanced mobile and OpenGL courses to corporate clients. His background in EE and low-level systems informs pragmatic architecture choices (e.g., moving services from Kafka to HTTP to speed delivery) and hands-on contributions across stacks. Comfortable as a public speaker and standards representative (W3C Web Payments), he blends evangelism with measurable process improvements that other groups adopt. Colocated in Northampton, MA, he pairs an inventor’s curiosity with operational rigor to turn ambitious visions into reliable production platforms.
