Jonathan is a computer scientist with over 1.5 decades of professional experience. Having studied operating systems, distributed computing, and security as an undergrad, he spent a hot second in the public sector before heading into startup land. Having since left that world behind, Jonathan is now a Senior Computer Scientist for an advanced genetic testing company. He can be found coding and presenting everywhere from leading universities to local meetups.

Jonathan is currently affiliated with the Cloud-Native Security research group at Drexel University's College of Computing and Informatics. There, he hopes to explore the security and correctness of distributed systems to make it easier for practitioners to design, build, test, and manage these systems.
