Background
I started as an electronic engineer — designing automation systems for manufacturing and industrial instrumentation. That grounding in how real systems work shaped everything that followed.
My background spans banking at ANZ and technology delivery for telecommunications carriers across Europe and Asia-Pacific. I went on to serve as an adjunct lecturer at the National University of Singapore and RMIT, to co-organise apidays Singapore — the region’s leading conference on APIs, AI, and platform strategy — and to host The Loop Asia, a publication and podcast covering technology trends across Asia-Pacific.
Blue Connector draws on all of it. I work across the full stack — data foundations, integration architecture, and AI strategy — with a small number of clients at a time, across financial services, telecommunications, and manufacturing.
Organisations I have worked with include ANZ, Telstra, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Singtel, Telecom Italia, and Telefonica.
MBA · Bachelor of Electronic Engineering · Graduate Diplomas in Applied Finance and Digital Communications
LinkedIn →How I work
Independent. Vendor-neutral. Practitioner-level.
No vendor agenda
I don’t resell software and I don’t have a preferred platform. My advice is based on what I’ve seen work in production — not on what a vendor needs me to recommend.
Small client base
I work with a small number of clients at a time. That’s deliberate. Every engagement gets my full attention, and I only take on work where I can make a genuine difference.
Practitioner, not analyst
My advice comes from having built, delivered, and operated real technology programmes — not from research reports or frameworks applied from the outside.
Who I work with
Three industries. One level of rigour.
“Jon has a unique ability to deliver key points with precision, breaking down complex concepts step by step. His approach ensures that people not only understand but also feel confident by the end of the session.”
