About Me
Who are you?
My name is Jonathan George. I live in Herfordshire, UK with my wife and kids. I’ve been a software developer for the last 10 years, starting on a bizarre (but all-to-common) mix of Oracle and Microsoft Access in the late ‘90s and moving through Visual Basic and Delphi to my current development language of choice, C#.
Since April 2010, I’ve been working at Zopa, the UK’s first social lending service. We allow people who have spare money to lend it directly to people who need a loan. Both lenders and borrowers get better rates than they would with the banks, because social lending is more efficient than the standard banking model. You can read more about social lending on our website, at uk.zopa.com.
What are you talking about?
Mainly things I encounter in my day job – I started this blog to document some of my experiences performance tuning and testing the websites I’ve worked on. However, after working on a couple of projects based on S#arp Architecture whilst at EMCC, and also collaborating on Who Can Help Me?, a demonstration of how to use SA to build an enterprise-quality web application, I’ve now joined the S#arp Architecture development team so I am likely to be blogging a lot more about that in the coming months.
