Co-founder & CEO, Nutrient.io. Building elegantly simple developer tools that move the world beyond paper. Attorney-turned-technologist • Wine producer • Dad of 3 • Lifelong learner

Hi, I'm Jonathan D. Rhyne 👋

I'm a lawyer by training, an engineer at heart, and—these days—the co-founder & CEO of Nutrient.io, a developer-first platform that lets teams create, collaborate on, and automate documents across every major framework and device. After growing PSPDFKit from a weekend project into the industry-standard PDF SDK, I led our rebrand to Nutrient.io to reflect a bigger mission: helping the world innovate beyond paper.

What I'm building

  • Nutrient Web Viewer & APIs – headless, high-fidelity document tooling for modern web apps
  • Low-code workflow automation – bringing citizen developers the same superpowers power users enjoy
  • AI document assistants – marrying LLMs with rock-solid SDKs so devs can ship magical experiences in hours, not months

Operating principles I live by

  1. Extreme ownership – low ego, high accountability
  2. Relentless curiosity – ship fast, learn faster
  3. Single-threaded focus – one priority at a time for compounding results
  4. Bias for action – momentum beats perfection
  5. Radical candor – honest, respectful feedback fuels growth

Beyond work

When I'm not obsessing over developer experience, you'll find me:

  • On the pitch – fundraising my cardio keeping up with rec-league soccer
  • Under dark skies – astrophotography and teaching my kids the constellations
  • At the North Carolina coast – chasing sun-rises, not deadlines
  • Behind a Leica – minimalist, black-and-white street shots (film & digital)
