Jonathan was born into an upper middle class family in Edinburgh, Scotland. Shortly after Tony Blair was elected prime minister the family moved to the Netherlands where his father took employment at JFC Brunssum and his mother was sent to the newly formed Russian Republic for diplomatic relations. At 17 he traveled back to Britain to begin his studies at the University of Edinburgh one year early. In 2012 Jonathan completed his masters degree. While his studies have been focused on data analysis he has picked up great deals of political and relational knowledge from his parents.
After his studies Jonathan moved to the US for a Principal Software Engineer position at Akamai Technologies. During his 4 years at the company he became known for maintaining order in the company's enormous expense datasets and reorganizing the server infrastructure for better coverage. However, he was perceived as a bit awkward and had a habit of micromanaging the projects under him. As news about the Central Intelligence Agency's Bright Light network intensified during the 2010s he decided to resign over ethical concerns about Akamai hosting the National Security Agency's digital infrastructure, which he had unfortunately directly improved.
As RAISA rapidly expanded Jonathan was approached with a job offer. While the salary was a massive downgrade he thought the position would be very interesting. Though the direct involvement in treatment of CD personnel and some report reviewing work has caused ethical quandrums for Jonathan, at this point he still believes in the Foundation view of internal sacrifices to maintain the Veil. His latest project is developing an alternative SCiPnet terminal for use off-site known as scipnet.sh
