Jonathan Mantello
Software Engineer at Expedia Group
About
I am a software engineer based in Seattle, Washington with a technical background in full-stack and back-end development. In my previous role at Expedia Group, I focused on developing gRPC services using Kotlin, Java, and Spring frameworks. I'm passionate about creating clean software solutions through clearly focused team collaboration, intentional communication, and motivation for growth. In my time away from work, I like to play music - guitar, bass, drums, and piano. I am also interested in climate change and sustainability, and I volunteer and maintain a garden plot at my local community garden, New Start Community Garden (aka Shark Garden). I'm eager to connect about potential job opportunities or other topics and am currently looking for work, so feel free to send a connection request through LinkedIn.
