Hi! I'm Graham, a creative technologist, former YC W23 founder, engineer and designer. Especially interested in engineer roles where I can wear multiple hats and creative technologist roles. Need a technical person who knows how to build things zero to one, has strong backgrounds in both tech and art, and soft skills like marketing and communication? I'm your person!

12+ years building and scaling systems and teams. I help teams go fast when systems, product, and org are out of sync. Scaling infra, unblocking teams, and getting things to ship without breaking.

Focus:

- compliance: HIPAA, security, audit-ready systems

- AI systems: retrieval, local inference, agent workflows

Previously: YC-backed startup, Calm, nonprofit CTO.

Scale: millions of users, and built teams and processes that enabled rapid growth.

Opertus Systems: improve reliability, reduce manual ops, ship automation and AI that hold up in production.

Looking for:

- full-time roles (eng leadership / eng management / product / program)

- fractional CTO and contract work

- teams scaling product + infra together

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I’m currently doing DevOps work for an open source project, operate a small web hosting company, and working as an accounting assistant for a local firm. My skillset is focused on the System Administration/DevOps side, with a bit of general dev experience primarily with Python. I have a PhD in Physics with my research focus being computational biophysics. On the side I also host my own infrastructure as a hobby, from the hardware to the nameservers and everything in between.

Having worked at startups before, I’m comfortable wearing many hats (and enjoy the variety).
