Jake Soper
Head of Technology at Imagination
“I can not say enough about how much I admire and respect Jono’s work ethic and character. While working with Jono at Spinifex I relied heavily on his ability to work under pressure, find solutions for problems and go that extra mile to ensure the job was done on time without compromising on quality. Jono is extremely creative and has excellent attention to detail. I would recommend Jono for any Senior Development and or creative role and he will be a valuable addition to any team with whom he works for in the future.”
Charles Tait
Senior Digital Producer at Imagination
“Jonathan is a highly skilled developer who is able to think well beyond the brief to accommodate unspoken requirements. His exemplary coding is matched with an easy ability to take direction and his comprehensive experience helps him to make pertinent suggestions and recommendations. He works well and efficiently on his own, not requiring much supervision once on a task and collaborates with others effectively in a team environment. Jonathan takes complete ownership of and responsibility for his work and is a pleasure to work with. I was very fortunate to work with Jonathan during my time at Spinifex and hope we will be able to work together in the future.”
JK: We did eventually get to work again at Imagination for a while! : )
Rene Christen
Creative Technologist and Developer
“Jono is one of the most reliable developers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. A very capable senior developer always doing whatever it takes to get a project across the line and on time. Great company and a great lateral thinker, able to look outside his specialties when required to get a solution up and running. Highly recommended.”
Paul Maher
Group User Experience Architect
“Jono is a great developer who sees beyond a brief. He is passionate about pixel perfect design, efficient back-end integration and seamless user experiences. His work ethic is unquestionable and his attention to detail is great – he is more likely to find and fix an issue than create one. Jono is an enviable leader who can inspire others. He would be an excellent addition to any project or organisation.”
