Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Ma is a senior software development leader with nearly two decades of experience building high‑impact biometric and enterprise products and currently directing engineering at NEC. He pioneered cloud-native biometric solutions at Thales, leading a global team to deliver an AWS-based system that captured a $12M DHS program and shifted the business from data-center to cloud services. His hands-on background spans C/C++, C#, Java, databases (MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL), SOA/microservices and secure development, paired with practical DevOps toolchain experience (Jenkins, JIRA, SVN/mercurial). Jonathan has repeatedly taken projects from requirements and architecture through deployment and acceptance—deployments used by national governments and millions of biometric records. He combines technical depth with people leadership—hiring, training and managing distributed teams to hit aggressive timelines and deliver production-hardened software. Educated at Tsinghua and South Carolina, he blends rigorous academic roots with a proven track record of shipping mission‑critical systems.
