Los Angeles, CA, July 29, 2022- Prewitt Ridge, developer of VERVE, an Agile Systems Engineering platform built for complex engineering teams from aerospace to medical devices, is pleased to announce the hiring of Jonathan Thomas as the Sr. Systems Architect. Thomas will oversee the design and implementation leadership of VERVE’s technical architecture, spanning system design and cybersecurity.
Thomas has over 20 years of experience designing, building, and deploying software solutions for government & commercial customers at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Slingshot Aerospace, and Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International.
His experience includes implementing novel architectures for cybersecurity and space-based applications, as well as deploying to both on-premise and cloud environments. He has worked across multiple disciplines in the cyber domain, including software development for vulnerability research for wireless technologies, application-level security, and cellular network-based security.
“Prewitt Ridge is led by a trusted team of engineers dedicated to improving the engineering processes that slow down time-to-market for critical solutions. The evolution of VERVE to-date shows their commitment to meeting the needs of their customers, as well as keeping up with the pace of progress within the engineering community," stated Thomas. "I am excited to bring my experiences to the team to help further propel the product they have dedicated themselves to building over the last few years"
"Jonathan has deep experience in designing and securing complex systems for operational deployment in sensitive industries. He has key experience taking startup enterprise cloud software through the gauntlet of cybersecurity into active operation within DoD," added Steve Massey, CEO of Prewitt Ridge. "Bringing him on board will accelerate our effort to serve the defense community. I’ve been lucky to work alongside and learn from him in past roles and we are incredibly grateful to have his technical leadership as we scale Prewitt Ridge.”
Verve by Prewitt Ridge makes it easy for teams to adopt Agile Systems Engineering practices at the earliest stages of product development with our authoritative source of truth. Verve closes the gap between ideation & design decisions.
Verve integrates engineering requirements, design, intent, and decision context within the tools engineers are doing real work, rapidly recompute downstream system impacts as designs evolve, and minimize the overhead of generating traditional documentation with less emails and fewer meetings.
Prewitt Ridge continues to develop Verve, adding new features, integrations, and functionality. Sign up for updates & early access to Verve 2.0 here.
