Hey, I'm Jonathon. Who am I you might ask? Well I’m driven by a passion for turning bold ideas into impactful products, whether that’s in the tech world or out in the mountains. As someone who loves skiing, rock climbing, and exploring the outdoors, I’ve always been drawn to challenges that push limits—whether I’m on the slopes, in the wilderness, or building the next big thing in software.I graduated from Queens University with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and one of my most rewarding experiences was designing, building, and racing in the FSAE competition. It taught me the value of hands-on work, collaboration, and perseverance—skills that still drive me in my work today. My love for innovation extends to my passion for AI and product development, where I get to combine creativity with cutting-edge technology to solve real-world problems.Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading engineering teams, designing scalable systems, and building software products for startups and established businesses alike. A key achievement has been guiding non-technical founders through the complex journey of product development, helping them launch successful software companies and avoid costly mistakes.My love for hands-on work and problem-solving naturally led me to step into my current role as COO and Head of Engineering at Hilo Labs. Just like tackling a rock face or taking on new dirt bike trails, building a product requires the right tools, strategy, and a clear path to success. I’ve seen too many entrepreneurs struggle with finding the right developer or building the wrong product, and I’m passionate about helping them navigate those challenges.At Hilo Labs, we specialize in product-first development, helping non-technical founders bring their vision to life without the stress of managing developers or losing money on poorly executed products. We’ve worked with dozens of founders to ensure their ideas become scalable, user-friendly products that achieve predictable revenue growth.When I’m not working, you can usually find me skiing in Whistler, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with my dog. I also love traveling whenever I can, always on the lookout for new adventures.If you’re a non-technical founder looking to build a successful software product, let’s connect. I’d love to help you turn your vision into reality—just like I’ve helped others. Reach out to book a free discovery call today! https://calendly.com/jonathon-malcolm/discovery-call
