Jonathan Ballard is a Staff Software Engineer at Google. He possess expertise in ruby on rails, jquery, sql, sdlc, microsoft sql server and 1 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Jonathan is one of the best senior engineers I've ever worked with. He flat-out kicked butt across the entire software development lifecycle. As a technical lead, he worked directly with the client during the technical design of a project. He would then assist in the troubleshooting process with their developers who had to integrate with our software. He also excelled at software development and technical management in an agile, test-driven software development process. He did a fantastic job making major architecture decisions and was trusted to make important technology decisions. When we had a dire need for help with systems administration, he not only stepped up to handle it, but he further increased the automation of our DevOps processes to an incredible degree. He performed over a dozen deployments across three different environments with no incidents and 100% uptime. That was all on top of his normal senior software engineering responsibilities. Jonathan was also a go-to person for customer support, product management, and QA. In short, Jonathan is a walking one-man software engineering department with a great attitude that will work as hard as anyone you've ever met. He is a secret weapon for any team he works with."
