I like computers
Jonathan is a computer scientist with over a decade of professional experience. Having studied operating systems, distributed computing, and security in school, he spent a hot second in the public sector before heading into startup land. Having since left that world behind, Jonathan is now a Principal Technologist for a large company in the healthcare sector. He can be found coding and presenting everywhere from leading universities to local meetups.
Jonathan has been programming since he was in first grade. He creates all sorts of software, writing, and presentations.

Seriously, he's a nerd.
