Matthew Mcgillis is a founder and principal engineer with 16+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating complex IT systems across enterprises and government labs. He founded Jenika, Inc. to deliver consulting, architecture and development work spanning system integration, virtualization optimization, performance testing, and security for clients like Boeing and Och-Ziff. A lifelong tinkerer with deep Unix roots, Matthew pairs formal CS training (USC MS) with practical expertise administering large, heterogeneous fleets and building tooling to standardize and report on system state. He has repeatedly bridged development and operations—moving releases into production, migrating version-control systems, and tuning scalability in lab and production environments. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he’s equally comfortable writing custom software and advising on strategic infrastructure improvements. Colleagues describe him as a methodical problem-solver who learns new protocols, OS internals, and virtualization techniques by building and experimenting with them.
