Summary
Jonathan Cochran is a seasoned full-stack developer and program/project manager with over a decade of experience bridging software delivery, geospatial engineering, and military communications. He combines hands-on skills in JavaScript/Node/React/PostgreSQL with an MS in Geographic Information Science to turn complex operational requirements into production web and mapping solutions. Jonathan has led large interdisciplinary teams through cloud migrations, interoperability projects, and mission-critical communications deployments for defense and state agencies, including a geospatial information-sharing platform still used for incident tracking and COVID response. His military background brings disciplined project execution, secure systems design, and field-tested network integration to civilian technology programs. Equally comfortable recruiting teams or writing ETL and test-driven backend code, he enjoys rapid, impact-driven sprints and prototyping new capabilities with dev communities on weekends. Based in Tacoma, WA, he pairs curiosity-driven engineering with measurable cost and readiness improvements across public- and private-sector programs.
