SKILLS
ABOUT JON ABBOTT
Energetic and experienced software engineer with 20+ years delivering high-quality solutions in complex, customer-focused environments.I specialise in taking ambiguous or complex business problems and turning them into clear, scalable technical solutions. From architecture and design through to delivery and long-term support, I focus on building systems that are robust, secure, and built to last.My background spans full lifecycle development, cloud platforms, particularly Azure, and both relational and NoSQL data stores. I’ve worked extensively in regulated environments where quality, reliability, and security are essential. I’m also a strong advocate of Agile, CI/CD, and DevOps practices to improve delivery speed and consistency.Alongside hands-on engineering, I provide technical leadership by mentoring engineers, setting quality standards, and helping teams deliver with confidence across multidisciplinary environments.As a dyslexic engineer, I bring a naturally big-picture, problem-solving mindset. I often spot patterns, simplify complexity, and find practical paths forward where others get stuck.
