Jon Stuart
Jon has been involved in Unix systems for over ten years. During this time he has been variously involved with application design and programming, operating system customisation, system administration and security.
Recently Jon's main concern has been server configuration and maintenance, with a heavy emphasis towards system stability, change management and scalability in administration.
At Torchbox, Jon is responsible for deploying new RationalMedia servers, maintaining the backup regime, server tuning and general system maintenance. Other tasks have included creating custom web site traffic statistics packages and data archiving.
Jon's approach to tasks is based on the Unix principle of building complex systems out of small modular components. This allows for thorough unit testing and predictable failure modes in a rapid development scenario.
C, Perl and shell script are Jon's primary programming languages.
