Jayson Minard

Montevideo, Uruguay

CTO / Technologist that works at any scale. Startup experience in Silicon Valley, Seattle and Europe including with Prezi, Abebooks/Amazon.com, Plum/EBSCO, and Summon/Proquest. A creative mind towards modern, productive, and quick-to-market use of technology. And the best path for a business to get there. I cover the full gamut: hands-on low level work to conceptual ideas. Covering the full stack. I do tend to specialize towards Amazon AWS, JVM (Java, Kotlin), Aurelia, ElasticSearch, Solr, NoSQL, Flink, and Apache Spark. Although I have worked with endless other technologies as well, and I take a neutral non-religious approach to finding the best solutions for a client.

Call me to talk about

Search Technology (ElasticSearch / Solr)

Get a jump start in the use of ElasticSearch or Solr. Or if further along, help with those tricky problems. I have built some of the largest implementations on both of these platforms, and have years of consulting experience covering every part of the products, end to end.

Choosing a Productive Technology Platform, That Won't Hurt You Later

A key early decision in the life of a company is choosing the technology platform. If your staff isn't top notch (and sometimes even then), they will make mistakes that you will pay for in many years to come. Let's choose the best fit for your business and get your team moving in the right direction with a lean architecture. This includes development languages and tools, frameworks, services, and best model for deployment.

Guide for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

I can help you plan your use of the many cloud services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), from platform design to software development choices. I have worked with AWS since its inception and have lived through many successful AWS based projects.

Interviewing Your Key Technology Hires

As a business owner your first key technologies hires will set the tone for your success, or start you on the path of failure. Let me help you with your interviews of those first (or any) key technology hires, either in planning, best questions, or in the actual interviews. I'll help you find the best resource for your plan and company.

Kotlin Will Save Your Java Development Teams

Your Java development teams have lower productivity and more bugs than a typical Kotlin programmer. And you lose nothing by moving to Kotlin, given its 100% interoperability with Java code and both residing with the JVM and using the same frameworks. Or upgrade to Kotlin specific frameworks and gain even more. I can introduce you to Kotlin, as one of the original users and contributors to the JVM language now popular with Android, the future language for Gradle builds, and solid for any server-side or really any development for which you use Java.
