Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Senecal is a seasoned Network Operations Manager and hands-on DevOps engineer with 13 years building carrier-grade networks, server infrastructure, and automation across Montreal’s internet ecosystem. He leads operations at Metro Optic, advises and serves on governance for the Montreal Internet Exchange, and runs his own network services company, bringing operator-grade rigor to design and deployment. Equally comfortable in code and at the rack, he contributes to prominent open-source projects like NetBox and LibreNMS—improving data models, Docker images, and API behavior to make network tooling more reliable and configurable. Known for a relentless, detail-oriented approach and an appetite for experimentation, he blends telecom experience with modern software practices to deliver resilient, automatable infrastructures. Insatiably curious and self-taught, he often bridges gaps between networking and backend development, particularly around observability and distributed polling. If a system looks impossible to operate at scale, Jonathan is the person who will ask "what if," rebuild it, and document how it stays that way.
