Summary
Jonathan Ziesmer is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 9 years of experience and 4+ years focused on Vue, Groovy, and Java, currently building systems at Point Loma Nazarene University. He blends API design, relational databases, and cloud infrastructure with a long-running personal practice in Python, Django, and JavaScript—13+ years of side projects that he wryly calls his "project graveyard." Jonathan has led cross-functional teams to optimize performance and deliver user-centered features, including re-architecting occupancy maximization and dashboards that improved client flexibility and revenue. Beyond code, he brings operational experience organizing and directing large running events and coaches athletes with a scientific approach, reflecting a habit of systems thinking applied to both software and real-world logistics. Based in Chattanooga, he combines hands-on engineering with product-minded problem solving and a knack for turning academic research and legacy codebases into efficient, maintainable solutions.
