Jonathan Baldie
Hi there and welcome!
I am a web developer in Stoke-on-Trent, England. You can reach me at jon@jonbaldie.com.
I work as a Lead Developer at VesselsValue, leading the development of their Trade product with a small team of developers.
I maintain a number of open source projects in my spare time, including
- Docker images that have been downloaded millions of times,
- a PHP framework for functional programming,
- and a queue server written in TypeScript.
I released my first non-fiction book, The 24 Laws of Storytelling, on 15th November 2018.
In its first month, 24 Laws became a #1 Best Seller in the Book Publishing Reference category on Amazon.com and #3 Best Seller in the Fiction Writing Reference category.
A year later I released Social Intelligence, a book aimed to help readers understand people better, both at work and in everyday life.
I have a degree in mathematics from the University of Edinburgh, and a master’s degree in mathematics from the Open University.
