Jonathan Erde is a software engineer in Los Angeles with 13 years of experience building database-driven business and educational applications and five years of computational research in proteomics and pattern-recognition for biological systems. He has been the principal developer for departmental systems at UCLA, acting as a technical liaison between academic and administrative stakeholders while driving adoption of open-source technologies. His background blends hands-on software delivery—designing lab and business management systems that improved productivity and quality—with peer-reviewed scientific authorship and successful contributions to NIH/NIAID grant work. Jonathan also founded CropAudit, applying data visualization to reconcile large USDA and EPA datasets for clearer public understanding of agricultural pesticide information. Comfortable spanning backend databases, bioinformatics pipelines, and web services, he brings a rare combination of academic rigor and pragmatic engineering to data-driven problems.
