Jonathan Dibbo
Senior Software Engineer (Support) – Boomi
Technical support engineer specialising in integration, SQL, and cloud-native platforms.
Summary
I'm a technically minded Senior Software Engineer who thrives in complex support and integration environments, the sort where getting a process back online under pressure really matters. My strength isn't in writing code all day, but in diagnosing root causes, restoring services, and helping customers succeed.
With a background spanning database administration, application support, and change management across both public and private sectors, I focus on practical, reliable solutions that keep systems and people running smoothly. I enjoy figuring out why something isn't working, replicating problems safely, and leaving things better than I found them.

Experience
Senior Software Engineer, Support
BoomiJan 2022 – Present
Senior Software Engineer working in the support arm of Boomi in a customer-facing role. I like understanding why something isn't working, digging into logs, replicating issues, and finding the fix that gets customers back on track. My focus is on integrations and connectors, often working with REST APIs, databases, and cloud services.
- Diagnose and resolve complex integration issues across connectors, APIs, and databases, often under time pressure for enterprise customers.
- Recreate customer environments in controlled test setups to replicate and isolate issues safely.
- Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to identify platform bugs and suggest fixes or improvements.
- Help customers apply best-practice principles around change management and release processes (a little ITIL can go a long way).
- Mentor newer engineers, share troubleshooting approaches, and contribute to our internal knowledge base.
- Draw on my database background to troubleshoot and optimise SQL Server and Oracle connections, and occasionally offer workarounds for tricky queries.
Technical Environment: Boomi Platform, REST/SOAP APIs, JSON, XML, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, AWS (RDS, S3), Linux & Windows, ITIL, Change Management.
