Jonathan Porta is a Senior Software Engineer at a Fortune 100 company with over 20 years of experience building and scaling software systems—from newsroom tools and blockchain platforms to billion-request cloud infrastructure. Equally at home refactoring legacy code or spinning up a new CI/CD pipeline, Jonathan has led technical initiatives at companies like Pantheon, Steemit and Walmart, often blurring the lines between software craftsmanship and systems architecture.
His career started young—repairing computers and building websites as a teenager in Montana—and quickly grew into founding and managing software ventures like OSP Enterprises and Design Delegates. Jonathan’s passion for technology is rooted in relentless curiosity: whether it’s writing ETL pipelines for crypto mining profitability or automating building temperature sensors with 3D-printed mounts and Grafana dashboards, he’s always looking to make things work better.
In addition to his work in tech, Jonathan is a licensed real estate agent and owns a portfolio of commercial and residentialproperties. He’s also a licensed Emergency Medical Technician, committed to community service and lifelong learning.
Jonathan lives in Montana with his wife, their amazing toddler daughter Miriam, and is currently preparing for the arrival of their son. He has an unusual but sincere interest in elevators—not for the ride, but for the systems thinking behind them: the elegant choreography of motors, control logic, and user experience feels like the perfect intersection of physical and digital engineering.
He believes in open-source collaboration, building things with your hands (digital or otherwise), and engineering seamless systems—whether they’re lifting people or launching containers.
