Jon Schlueter is a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat with 16 years of experience building and deploying cloud infrastructure, specializing in OpenStack. He brings hands-on systems expertise across C/C++, Python, Java, TCP/IP and navigation-related data fusion, and enjoys tackling hardware-adjacent challenges. At Red Hat he focuses on making OpenStack deployment tooling more robust and maintainable, contributing practical DevOps improvements to widely used projects like Packstack and Kolla. His contributions emphasize code quality, documentation clarity, and build-time optimizations—often finding value in small fixes that improve developer and operator experience. Based in Michigan, he blends deep systems-level coding skills with a pragmatic approach to deployment and containerization. Not obvious from his title: he pairs algorithmic interests (AI and data fusion) with production-grade infrastructure work.
