Jonathan Concepcion

Founder and lead engineer

I've been writing software for about 20 years. I started on web and mobile projects for companies like E*TRADE, Prudential, Guitar Center and HardwareZone, then went on to build a credit card app for OneMain Financial and privacy software at TrustArc.

I started R5IoT in 2026 so small businesses and founders could get that same level of work without a big agency bill. When you hire R5IoT, you work with me directly, from the first call to launch day and after.

03 · Process

How a project
works.

01

Discover

We figure out who it's for and the one thing the app has to get right.

02

Design

Flows, a design system and a clickable prototype before a line of production code.

03

Build

Weekly builds on real devices, tested end-to-end, with clean architecture you can own.

04

Ship

App Store and Play Store submission, privacy labels, screenshots and a launch site.

05

Grow

We watch how people use it and keep improving the parts that matter.

04 · Studio

A small studio in
Brentwood, CA.

Jonathan started R5IoT in 2026 after years of building software for companies like E*TRADE, Prudential and OneMain Financial. We build websites and apps for small businesses and founders, and most clients stay with us after launch.

You get a working build to try every week and a quick update on what changed. The code is yours, written so another developer could pick it up later.
