Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Nakandala is a Lead DevOps Engineer with a decade of experience architecting cloud-native solutions, building PoCs and evolving prototypes into production platforms. He currently leads a team of five as Product Owner and Development Lead, driving an in-house orchestration platform while combining hands-on Python development with CI/CD, Kubernetes and Terraform practices. Jonathan has a strong track record at Vodafone delivering SD-WAN orchestration, API-driven automation and migrating PoCs from VM-based setups to Helm-managed Kubernetes with automated testing and release pipelines. Equally comfortable translating stakeholder needs into technical requirements and mentoring junior engineers, he blends product focus with technical rigour. Based in England, he pairs an academic foundation in electrical and electronic engineering with practical experience across AWS and Azure, and a knack for turning experimental prototypes into maintainable developer platforms. Notably, he repeatedly bridges research and production—collaborating with external partners like university 5G testbeds to validate real-world orchestration use cases.
