Jon Hurley is a Principal Software Developer at Virtual Chemistry, Inc.. He possess expertise in software development, lifesciences, agile methodologies, software project management, java and 15 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I worked directly for Jon for approximately one year, managing one of several teams reporting into his Unified Lab Management organization. He recruited me into that role in the organization, and it was my first experience as a manager to other developers. Working for Jon was great. He is a fun to work with, brilliant and experienced technical mind. He was interested in deeply understanding the details, while completely avoiding micromanagement. Even though he and I have slightly different philosophies toward software development and project management, I always felt trusted and empowered to operate my team and interact with other teams as I thought best. I always felt that he would prefer to err towards trusting my judgement, only overriding me when he felt it was critically important. At the same time, he had a subtle way of making me feel I needed to do just a little bit more, getting better results from me and the team. Jon was under a huge amount of pressure for the year that I worked with him, coordinating, planning and leading a project massive both in scale and in business impact. It was a situation that might reasonably strain anyone into dysfunction. Instead, Jon handled it in a way that exceeded the goals of the project, satisfied the needs of the business, and inspired me to be a better leader, a better architect, and a better programmer."
