Summary
Jordan Mcclintock is a versatile platform and software engineer with 10 years of experience building developer platforms and migrating legacy VM services to containerized architectures. Currently a "Unicorn Engineer" at Defense Unicorns, he blends hands-on platform work with tooling and automation expertise gained in the U.S. Air Force, where he supported a 30-developer environment from BIOS to network services. His toolkit includes CentOS/Ubuntu, Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, Ansible, Chef, Bash, Python, and containerization strategies for production and dev environments. Jordan has practical full-stack exposure from earlier React.js and NestJS work and brief stints integrating Java Spring frontends, enabling him to bridge developer needs and platform operations. He’s comfortable in both DoD and commercial agile contexts and often focuses on making environments reproducible, auditable, and easy for teams to consume. A detail that often surprises colleagues: he handles low-level system setup (BIOS/OS) and high-level CI/CD pipelines with equal confidence.
