Summary
Jonathan Wood is an independent consultant and seasoned software developer with over a decade of professional experience and decades of hands-on developer work across Microsoft and native C++ ecosystems. Based in Salt Lake City, he has delivered web and desktop solutions—ranging from ASP.NET Core Razor Pages and MVC SaaS modules to C++/MFC applications and language interpreters—for clients in logistics, healthcare, retail, and utilities. He has a track record of simplifying complex systems, such as replacing client-specific builds with a dynamic XML-driven contracts engine and modernizing legacy station-tracking software to use shared internet-accessible databases. Jonathan also authored commercial shareware (including a hex editor now in the Windows Store), produced dozens of C++/MFC tutorial videos for MSDN, and contributed technical articles to industry journals. Comfortable working solo or on small agile teams, he blends pragmatic engineering, long-term maintenance perspective, and an interest in tooling and developer education. Notably, his practice spans both low-level performance-sensitive C++ work and high-level web app architecture, giving him uncommon breadth for an independent consultant.
