Jonathan Mezach is a Solution Architect with 11 years of experience helping retail SaaS teams deliver reliable workforce management products used by major supermarkets across the Netherlands and Europe. At R&R WFM he combines hands-on .NET and DevOps expertise with product ownership to improve developer experience via tooling, CI/CD and platform boundaries so feature teams can work independently. His background spans mobile, backend and infrastructure roles—from Xamarin mobile apps for Nederlandse Spoorwegen to leading a DevOps-driven split-repository model using Octopus Deploy and Git. He contributes to the Backstage open-source ecosystem, implementing an octopus-deploy plugin that bridges deployment data into developer portals. Colocated in Harderwijk, he brings a pragmatic focus on operational simplicity and developer productivity that often reveals friction points before stakeholders do.
