Jonathan was Chief Scientist and Technical Fellow at Sotera Defense Solutions on assignment to DARPA and led a variety of data science and big data efforts across several programs. In recognition of this work, his team received the Department of Defense Joint Meritorius Unit Award. The DARPA Programs he worked on have been featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes, Rolling Stone, SXSW, and TEDx. At Sotera, Jonathan also led the open source release of a distributed graph analytics processing library and the Data Wake browsing history analysis toolkit. While at Sotera, Jonathan also worked on incubator projects and served as a consultant to Google.At Sotera, I served as a "Big Data" scientist and worked with Hadoop, HDFS, and other cloud technologies to unlock analytic gems. My role is that of a software architect and a data scientist as I find new techniques and apply them to datasets at massive scale. This usually involves applying technologies such as Hadoop Map Reduce, Bulk Synchronous Parallel, and other high performance computing related strategies for distributed computing.

Principal software architect over a large project (100+ developers) and as a data scientist / principal software architect on a smaller research oriented project. Provided briefing support to VIPs as well as hands-on research oriented development on Big Data.

Houston, Texas, Us

Worked two summers (didn't want to post two entries on LinkedIn) as a firmware engineer on laser printers during my Master's degree. This was a fun experience writing duplexing drivers. It developed a great appreciation in me for precisely how hardware works.
