Summary
Jonathan Hironaga is a Senior Software Engineer with 20+ years of professional experience and a deep track record of full‑stack development at early‑stage startups, including co‑founding HealthyOut (acquired) and leading engineering at Section and Capitect. He designs and ships frontends, backends, APIs, auth systems, data pipelines, mobile apps, and complex integrations with a pragmatic focus on fast builds, lean test suites, and performant page loads. Jonathan has led small teams, mentored junior engineers, and improved product quality through style guides, caching and query optimizations, and thoughtfully designed authentication and subscription flows. He brings a sharp eye for bugs, typos, and UX details—down to parsing messy restaurant menus into structured data—and combines technical rigor with a collaborative, patient leadership style. Based in New York with a UC Berkeley EECS degree, he pairs entrepreneurial experience with hands‑on engineering across Ruby/Rails, mobile, and data ingestion systems.
