Hi I'm Jon Raasch!
I build AI‑native engineering teams that ship awesome products.
I'm a tech & product leader with deep roots in engineering, design & business. I approach every technical challenge through a product lens, obsessing over outcomes for users and the bottom line, not technology for its own sake.
A few things I'm known for:
I've authored four engineering books (O'Reilly/Wrox & Wiley) on JavaScript, mobile web & data visualization. I've been a longtime contributor to Smashing Magazine too. Thought leadership has always been part of how I do the work.
Jon is accountable across multiple global teams to hire great talent, manage their work and prioritize, and he achieves those with flying colors. He is the brains and enterprise architect behind an incredibly thoughtful and bulletproof Design System and UX Framework that will transform the global SDLC. I feel very lucky to work with him.
There are few people I have met who can so clearly, concisely, and quickly deliver on projects as Jon can. He has the rare ability to understand cost vs. effort and always work towards the best solution for your organization. If you are looking for someone to deliver immediate business value and a great attitude, I would wholeheartedly recommend Jon.
