My name is Jonathan Borichevskiy, but most friends just call me Jon.

Always • I enjoy learning and building things (usually with computers), concerts, hikes, and connecting with people. Passionate about cognitive science, environmental sustainability, and software engineering. Hoping to connect the three. My life philosophy.

Future • Helping solve challenging problems. Areas of interest include improving collaborative knowledge and communication, clean energy, effective education and therapy, lowering access cost to space, artificial intelligence, and better institutional and democratic decision-making. I aim to be running my own R&D lab by 2030. My next life steps.

Now • See my Now page, my Plan page, or a list of ideas I’m exploring.

Before • Founding Engineer at illumis, where I worked on acquiring lots of public data, back-end development skills, and some SRE experience. Co-founded Yedi Software, an attempt at improving 3PL marketplace efficiency. Born and raised in Sacramento, California.

I find journaling an incredible tool for growth. My productivity system, and a writeup of my habits.

Citizen of Spaceship Earth. Currently in San Diego. Roaming around the country, next stops: Austin, NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, Boulder.
