Jonathan “J.” Tower builds custom software as a founding partner at Trailhead Technology Partners. A 12-time Microsoft MVP and .NET Foundation board member, he helps developers skip the hype to build pragmatic AI tools that solve real user problems.
His recent work breaks down how to systematically implement semantic search, RAG, and agentic workflows. He also spent over a decade running Western Michigan’s Beer City Code conference.
When he isn’t coding, J. is working on visiting every U.S. national park—he is currently at 58 of 63—and watches every Best Picture nominee before the Oscars.
