Jonathan Raphaelson is a Staff Software Engineer with 17+ years of full‑stack and systems experience, currently shaping web platforms at Windfall after recent roles building CMMC‑certified data intake and autonomous agent systems. He moves fluidly between low‑level C and device drivers, backend services in Ruby, Scala and Node, and front‑end work in JavaScript/Angular, often acting as the team's sysadmin and "human Google." Jonathan has led architecture and tooling efforts—designing Rails backends, terraform modules, and build systems—and contributed to open source projects like Lineman by improving build and Grunt workflows. His engineering approach favors choosing the right tool for the job rather than a narrow specialty, and he learns new stacks rapidly to deliver pragmatic solutions. Notably, he has hands‑on experience shepherding security certifications and productionizing agent platforms that coordinate via Redis Streams and web sockets. Based in Lafayette, Colorado, he seeks work that is technically challenging, impactful, and tied to real‑world interconnected systems.
