Jonathan Field’s Summary
I'm an experienced web development manager with an excellent understanding of the techinical, human, and business issues that drive things online. I've built complete systems from scratch, maintained them, and worked with legacy systems as well. I've also put together and managed teams to do these things.
I have in-depth experience with warehousing material handling systems, process flow, and distribution center design.
I've also occasionally been an independent film maker and musician.
I hope to find more ways to combine my skills in business and technology with my love of creative works and independent art.
NOTE: I took most of 2007 off to work on a few humanitarian and personal projects

Director Of Development
Zappos.com
(Privately Held; 501-1000 employees; Internet industry)
July 2000 — March 2007 (6 years 9 months)
I was the first software developer at Zappos.com when I was hired. I inherited a well made contractor-built system and took it from there. Over the years I've done too many things to remember: architecture, coding, hiring, and managing a team of 15 developers.
During my tenure the company saw growth from just about nothing to over 500 million dollars in yearly sales. At the end of my stay, I helped in hiring a suitable replacement and successfully transitioned the team to new leadership.
One of my proudest achievements at Zappos was heading up the warehouse automation team for two years. We oversaw the design, construction, and successful launch of a $25M, 400K sqft state-of-the-art distribution center in Shepherdsville Kentucky. Final cost under our direction was about 1/4 of what the original consultants had budgeted.
Eductional Details:

GED, Audio/Video & Computers, 1988 — 1991
That's right, I left high school. But I went on to earn the highest GED score in Massachusetts in 1997. I've always learned best by doing.
