Hello! I’m am a Software Developer at CoverMyMeds. I love learning and sharing that knowledge with others. My Computer Science senior project in 2006 was on Ruby on Rails and it was finally what helped me to enjoy programming. I have been working professionally in Ruby ever since.

Fueled by curiosity, I have spent the first 3 years of my career contributing to Print Syndicate, Rev1 Ventures, and now Root Insurance. I’m a Student-Athlete graduate from Purdue University where I attained a Bachelor of Science degree. I’m most intrigued by opportunities to design/build things that call for the application of creativity by way of technology. I helped Print Syndicate secure Series A funding while also building the framework for both the marketing and branding departments. At Rev1, I built an internal dashboard which pulled together various data sources and provided context by overlaying our business objectives. Now, at Root, I am developing our talent brand which is aimed at drawing in the best engineers. Some notable side-hustles include: scooping ice cream at Jeni’s, head goalkeeper coach at Capital University, private pilot student, building furniture, and studying design.

I am presently Lead IT Recruiter at Everest Technologies & CRB Board of Directors Treasurer. I leads and oversees a team of Recruiters who Recruit and Source top notch candidates; while ensuring a positive candidate experience. As the current Treasurer of the CRB Board, I manages the finances of the organization, advised and administrates fiscal matters for the board. I also created and maintain the CRB LinkedIn Page. I also executes all deliverable needed for CRB to maintain their partnership with O'Reilly.

I've developed on the web for 18 years. I can configure pools of servers, architect and develop the applications on those servers, and make it all look good (and run). I am a developer at Rackspace. I was also a Professor at Franklin University, hold a Master's in Computer Science and I lead 500 members of the Columbus Ruby Brigade. I've launched projects for folks from Rackspace, AT&T, Sprint, LivingSocial and SeoMoz to local engineering and consulting firms.

Hi, I'm Jon Canady, and you may remember me as the host of CRB's Monthly Meetings! I'm also one of the original engineers at CoverMyMeds, which has been CRB's location and food sponsor starting in 2016. I'm also a current board member! When I'm not hosting meetings or working, I like to spend time with my wife and two sons, play poker, and I'm starting to put some screencasts together because that's fun.
