Summary
Patrick Jones is a pragmatic full‑stack developer and data engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable data pipelines, relational databases, and Django-based web applications. He created and continues to operate www.atweather.org, a high-traffic forecast site for long-distance backpackers that integrates NOAA REST APIs and showcases his ability to deliver production-grade, user-focused tools. Patrick combines deep SQL and PL/SQL expertise with Python scripting for automation, experience modernizing legacy systems, and practical knowledge of CI/CD (GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins) to keep hundreds of daily jobs running smoothly. Comfortable leading projects in team settings or as an independent maintainer, he consistently prioritizes clean, reusable code and testability—evidenced by a generalized unit-testing framework for data jobs. His background in meteorology and physics gives him an uncommon domain perspective that informs the weather-focused product he maintains.
