+
+Building and maintaining an open source project takes a village. In a
+mini-series on this blog we would like to highlight the work of our
+maintainers, component owners, and members of the larger community.
+
+Today we meet [Jonathan Battiato](https://github.com/jbattiato), an engineer 
+on the Cloud Native team at EDB. He was working on 2ndQuadrant’s Cloud Native 
+team when the CloudNativePG project (then under a different name) was first 
+conceived. His first contribution to the project must have been reported a bug, 
+Jonathan says he's "good at breaking things". Most of his contributions since 
+then have been in improving the user experience.
+
+Even though the CloudNativePG Operator is a stable, easy-to-use, and a 
+production-ready product, there are many aspects of the project that still 
+require improvements and/or rewriting. Most of them are already on the roadmap. 
+Jonathan is keen to improve the user experience for the docs. "The documentation 
+is... a lot. Sometimes I worry one could get lost in it." Jonathan had hoped 
+to work on some hands-on-labs style tutorials to be published on the 
+website, but simply hasn't had the time to dedicate to it. 
+
+Jonathan is as a long-time member of the local Linux User Group (in Prato). 
+While he's been more of a lurker than an active member of any other community, 
+he's changing this with his involvement in the Data on Kubernetes community. 
+Giving talks, and writing a knowledge base about benchmarking storage solutions 
+in Kubernetes, is what earned him his DoK Ambassador status.
+
+Jonathan got into technology because of tv shows like Ghostbusters, MacGyver, 
+and A-Team. "I’ve always been interested in science and technology. When my 
+best friend introduced me to Linux through the Debian project, my fate was 
+decided. Since then, I worked as a Linux SysAdmin, a PostgreSQL Admin, and a 
+Kubernetes Admin." It takes a special kind of nerd to answer the question 
+"what are you most notorious for?" with: my PostgreSQL benchmarks...
+
+When he (finally) grows up, Jonathan wants to be an astronaut, looking for 
+new civilizations like in Star Trek. "Earthlings are disappointing." Present 
+company not withstanding, I hope.
+
+You can find Jonathan in the CloudNativePG channels on the CNCF Slack workspace, 
+or [on Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@jonnylee), or [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanbattiato/).
