Hi, I'm Jonathan, a PhD physicist who moved into infrastructure: Linux systems, DevOps, and automation
I run infrastructure for an open-source blockchain project; a 40+ node Linux fleet covering provisioning, virtualization, DNS, monitoring, deployments, and user-facing services. I also operate a small IT/hosting consultancy where I own the full stack from bare metal up. Before this, my background was postdoctoral biophysics and ML research (GROMACS, SLURM, ML-assisted free-energy prediction) plus contract cloud engineering at a startup.
I'm a strong fit for platform, infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or computational research roles. I do my best work in small, collaborative teams, and I'm comfortable wearing many hats.
