I'm Jon MacKinnon.
Marine · Web Developer · Offensive & Defensive Security Training
I serve in the Marine Corps and am currently stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. The military taught me how to operate with limited resources, high accountability, and no patience for systems that fail when people need them most.
That same mindset is how I approach building websites, automations, and practical tech solutions. With MacKinnonTech, I do the work myself. No outsourcing, no account managers, and no agency markup. You work directly with the person who scoped it, built it, tested it, and will be there when something needs fixing.
My background combines military discipline, web development, cybersecurity training, and hands-on offensive and defensive security work. I have conducted several successful authorized security reviews, and they all had one thing in common: the biggest risks were usually hiding in plain sight.
Weak passwords. Outdated systems. Exposed services. Misconfigured settings. Small details that most people overlook until they become expensive problems.
That is why I build with security in mind from the start. A website should not just look good. It should load fast, work properly, protect users, and support the business behind it.
Outside of client work, I am finishing a degree in cybersecurity, building tools, running a home lab, and constantly sharpening my skills in web development, automation, offensive security, defensive security, and ethical hacking.
If you want someone who takes your project seriously, keeps things practical, and builds with security in mind — MacKinnonTech is easy to reach.
