About Jonathan Mitzman

I previously designed spacecraft; now I build software. I apply the same rigorous, systems-level thinking to software engineering. I live to produce and own high quality products.I am an engineer who thrives in both software and hardware environments, with 5 years in cloud/web application development, and 8 years of hardware engineering experience from initial architecture to design, build, integration, and finally, completion by space launch vehicle and in-orbit-testing.At Bluebeam, I have taken ownership of platform health, lead cross-team initiatives, and drive improvements in developer efficiency. I have interviewed, hired, interns, while mentoring them and newer developers. As the Frontend Guild Leader, I foster knowledge-sharing and guide best practices across teams using soft leadership skills.
