Jon Hewines
Technical Director & Co-founder
About
Jon founded Full Clarity with Ed Kemp in 2018, off the back of a number of successful joint freelance projects working together on large bespoke applications.
In Ed, Jon had finally found a UX designer who cared as much about the end user experience as he did, so together they formed Full Clarity blending together the relentless pursuit of optimal User Experience & Product design, with robust development.
Background & industry experience
Jon has 15+ years experience creating digital products, with a particular focus with e-learning and online training, having worked with end clients such as BP and ExxonMobil. In recent years he has focused on providing technical consultancy and leads the full stack development for our SMEs and funded startup projects.
He has always thrived on balancing the technical delivery with an understanding of how people use systems, whether that’s through his degree in Maths & Psychology, using software to implement best practice learning theory, or building interfaces enabling people to process data easily.
Jon has a very pragmatic approach to development, believing strongly in leveraging third-party solutions rather than re-inventing the wheel. Many other developers relish the challenge of building everything from scratch, however Jon would prefer to use technology platforms to address the end user and business priorities first and only build from scratch where necessary.
I met Jon when he designed and developed a Return On Investment calculator for me to go on the website for Metis, a SaaS product that I was one of the senior team for. Jon took my simplistic ideas and spreadsheet model and, over 3 days, built a beautiful interactive Javascript module for our customers to play with. It completely surpassed my expectations for function, delivery time and price. What’s more, Jon was absolutely lovely to deal with. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.
Jonathan Peachy, Co-founder and Director of Metis
I love working with Jon, so precise and speedy with resolutions and creative with solutions. Always makes you feel like he has your back, you never feel like you can’t count on him – whatever the problem! Really great team player with a sense of humour, excellent leadership qualities and decision making skills. Can bring new ideas to life and comes highly recommended.
