Jonathan Poteet

I'm a software engineer based in the U.S., open to opportunities nationwide — relocation and remote roles are welcome, and I'm actively interested in positions in Atlanta. I design and build full‑stack and distributed systems with a focus on emerging technologies: Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT security, VR/AR and immersive experiences, brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), and large‑scale data systems for research and production.

Addressed frontend vulnerabilities, optimized data handling logic, and integrated Vitest for comprehensive unit and integration testing.
Led the migration of the My Orders application to Solid.js as part of the transition to the Dash monorepo, improving performance, modularity, and long-term maintainability.
Documented technical workflows and requirements in Confluence, tracked work items and sprints in Jira, and contributed to CI/CD pipeline management and build process optimization.
Helped implement automated testing strategies, defining test IDs and improving coverage for regression prevention.
Leveraged GitHub Copilot for assisted pair programming, using it to accelerate unit test creation, streamline debugging, and enhance component development efficiency.
Collaborated closely with UX and QA teams to ensure designs were visually consistent, responsive, and met all functionality and accessibility requirements.
Regularly presented completed features and technical improvements to stakeholders, highlighting enhanced user experience, maintainability, and scalability.
