Jonathan has a natural, and well-honed intuition for user experience -- not just UX, but the needs, intentions and experiential desires of *humans* using technologies. With a design background as well, Jonathan's capability spans the development visual design language to product strategy. He knows how to work with full stack developers (to speak the language, and know their needs) to affect collaboratively-build wins. And, he's a good guy.
