Highlights from my daily life!
Jonathan Poteet
I’m a Software Engineer specializing in TypeScript and distributed systems, building scalable web architectures with an emphasis on reliable, scalable, and safe system design. My work centers on simulation and high-integrity systems, applying formal verification and model checking to reason about behavior before deployment rather than debugging correctness in production. I focus on complex system modeling and architectures shaped by real-world constraints.
Outside of engineering, I explore procedural generation and interactive design, combining formal logic with creative system construction.
Based in the U.S. - Seeking opportunities in Atlanta, Remote, or Nationwide.

Software Engineer
Contributed to multiple teams across General Motors, including Service Workbench, D2C, and Dash, developing full-stack web applications used by technicians and customers across global markets.
Worked extensively with Angular, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, Java, SQL, and Next.js to modernize legacy systems, enhance performance, and improve the overall user experience.
Implemented Angular Strict Mode and ESLint Strict Mode on a legacy codebase to improve type safety, maintainability, and consistency across the application.
Developed new UI components and backend integrations for Service Workbench, a platform used by technicians to monitor vehicle health and diagnostics during service appointments.
Added Spring Boot Swagger documentation to backend services, improving API discoverability and collaboration between frontend and backend teams.
Utilized Azure DevOps daily for branch management, pull requests, sprint tracking, and automated test environment deployments.
Managed the My Orders Order Tracker and Order Fulfillment frontend flow within a Next.js/TypeScript repository, supporting multiple European markets including France, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany.
Implemented localized translations using Strapi CMS and connected APIs to display real-time order, financial, and vehicle data, including make, model, trim, and RPO/parts information.
Addressed frontend vulnerabilities, optimized data handling logic, and integrated Vitest for comprehensive unit and integration testing.
Led the migration of the My Orders application to Solid.js as part of the transition to the Dash monorepo, improving performance, modularity, and long-term maintainability.
Documented technical workflows and requirements in Confluence, tracked work items and sprints in Jira, and contributed to CI/CD pipeline management and build process optimization.
Helped implement automated testing strategies, defining test IDs and improving coverage for regression prevention.
Leveraged GitHub Copilot for assisted pair programming, using it to accelerate unit test creation, streamline debugging, and enhance component development efficiency.
Collaborated closely with UX and QA teams to ensure designs were visually consistent, responsive, and met all functionality and accessibility requirements.
Regularly presented completed features and technical improvements to stakeholders, highlighting enhanced user experience, maintainability, and scalability.

Directed frontend development for the My Orders experience across four European markets (FR, SE, CH, DE), building with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Java while integrating Strapi CMS and enterprise APIs for localized vehicle and financial data.
Managed the My Orders page on cadillaceurope.com, enabling customers to view, track, and manage vehicle orders with comprehensive visibility into order status, financial details, and logistical timelines across multiple markets.
Worked within the D2C and Dash teams to enhance order visibility, integrating financial, logistical, and vehicle details (make, model, trim, RPO/parts) through Strapi CMS and connected APIs, requiring careful coordination across multiple backend services.
Migrated the My Orders app to Solid.js within the Dash monorepo, improving performance, maintainability, and code reuse while reducing bundle size and rendering overhead.
Architected Docker and Podman container environments using WSL to build and manage complex microservices, achieving 100% environment parity between development and production.
Collaborated with backend teams and QA engineers to resolve defects, optimize API calls, and strengthen data integrity and security across the European platform.
Participated in agile sprints using Jira, documented processes in Confluence, and contributed to CI/CD pipeline improvements via Azure DevOps for streamlined releases.
Contributed to the integration of Adyen for checkout, supporting secure, reliable, and compliant payment processing within the My Orders workflow.
Remediated vulnerabilities detected by GitHub Advanced Security and proactively managed third-party dependencies to ensure enterprise compliance.

What am I up to?
I’m a software engineer with a passion for building things. Lately, that’s meant learning Blender and experimenting with Godot to create my own small interactive worlds. Outside of work, I love attending conventions, following VTubers, and sharing my development journey on Twitch and other social media. I’m always diving into new games or skills, driven by a simple curiosity for how things work.
