Profile: https://flows.cv/jonathancheatham

Broad-spectrum generalist with years in game development (J2ME, Unity), web development (Ruby-on-Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, PHP, .Net), software quality, management, leadership, construction, etc. While I'm currently open to the right opportunities, I get a lot of spam, so include "Moria" in your ~spam~ message to me to get actual consideration (and bonus points if you know the reference).
