Top SchoolJonathan Newman is a Senior Software Architect based in Portland, Oregon with over 12 years of professional experience designing and delivering full-stack and systems software across macOS, Windows, and Linux. He has deep experience in both application and driver development for consumer and embedded environments, complemented by hands-on Linux system administration. Over his career at Puppet/Perforce and Hewlett-Packard he has driven architecture and dependency-modernization work—recently contributing security-focused upgrades to the well-known PuppetDB project.
