MenuJayson Minard Technologist fluent in the needs of a startup
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.

JM$3.33/min per minute(3)Kotlin Will Save Your Java Development TeamsJayson Minard • Montevideo, UruguayCreated 9 years ago in Technology / Software DevelopmentYour 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.Jayson Minard Montevideo, Uruguay(3)
