Summary
Jonathan Quintanilla is a Senior Platform Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing and automating cloud-native infrastructure and developer platforms. He specializes in Python-driven automation, container orchestration with Kubernetes/Openshift, and IaC using Terraform and Ansible, having led platform initiatives at Kohl’s that span GCP, GitLab CI/Jenkins, and GitOps practices. Jonathan combines deep ops experience—from building Jenkins ecosystems and migrating source control to GitLab to managing RHEL and vSphere images—with a strong focus on observability using Prometheus and Grafana. He mentors junior engineers, enforces code quality and security, and champions automated testing and documentation to make complex systems manageable. Based in Pine Plains, NY, he has a track record of turning legacy tooling into scalable, event-driven platforms and even grew a team repo from a handful of commits into a robust codebase through prolific scripting and automation. Colleagues know him for treating infrastructure like a well-crafted recipe—practical, repeatable, and a little creative.
