Summary
Jonathan Gilmore is a Senior Software Engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience and six years in his current senior-level trajectory, now focusing on quantum-resistant cryptography and entropy generation at Quantinuum. He has a deep background across telecommunications, banking, embedded systems and consumer devices, having driven core middleware, blockchain-based DLT platforms, and wireless networking products at companies including Cisco, Calastone and Motorola. Jonathan blends low-level C/C++ and systems work with modern cloud-native stacks (Node.js, TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes) and has led OSS audits, security investigations and CI improvements that improved product resilience. Colleagues rely on his troubleshooting rigor and cross-disciplinary perspective—he pairs engineering discipline with an eye for user experience and a personal interest in photography that informs polished, usable interfaces. Notably, he co-authored work on a quantum-resistant blockchain and helped operationalize post-quantum key generation for hybrid classical/quantum deployments. Based in Ely, UK, he thrives on solving hard integration and security problems at the intersection of research and production.
