About Joseph R. Jones (JRJ)
“Scruffy-looking nerd herder (retired) and world’s foremost expert in self-proclaimed thought leadership”
I retired from The Walt Disney Company in October, 2025 (I was the Director of Software Engineering, and my team focused on native players for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN.) Before tha, I spent 10 years at Adobe, 5 years at Microsoft, and more than a decade of startups going back to the early 90s.

As I write this, Rachel and I are planning a move from Cary, NC to Payson, Arizona. Excited to get back to rim country in the first half of 2026.
Contacting JRJ
This is one of those “if you know, you know” situations. If I wanted you to contact me you would know how to contact me.
That said, JRJ…
- Is on twitter/X as @jrj but doesn’t really post anymore
- Is on LinkedIn but doesn’t accept unknown connections
- Is on GitHub but it would take creative use of that service to contact someone.
