About Granite Peak Technologies — Jonathan Goulet
I’m Jonathan Goulet, founder of Granite Peak Technologies, a former active‑duty Marine and current Air Force contractor specializing in VMware, vSphere, NSX‑T, and Dell VxRail infrastructure engineering. For more than a decade, I’ve supported mission‑critical environments across the Department of Defense, delivering reliable, high‑performance virtualization platforms that military units and enterprise teams depend on every day.
My work focuses on complex lifecycle management, cluster upgrades, remediation, and full‑stack VMware/VxRail engineering. I’m known for solving the problems that stop other engineers — certificate corruption, kubelet failures, NSX drift, vCenter mismatches, and multi‑cluster alignment issues across secure, distributed environments.
What I’ve Accomplished
Enterprise‑Scale VxRail & VMware Expertise
• Upgraded 100's VxRail sites across mission‑critical infrastructure
• Delivered full lifecycle management across dozens of clusters
• Resolved certificate binding failures, VxRail Manager corruption, and kubelet issues
• Standardized environments with consistent NSX‑T and vCenter alignment
Mission‑Critical Infrastructure Recovery
I rebuilt the Ramstein ISN stack to full operational readiness — a project requiring deep VMware knowledge, rapid troubleshooting, and coordination across multiple teams. This work restored critical services relied on by Air Force personnel and partner units.
Training & Leadership
I’ve trained engineers from multiple military units on VxRail operations, lifecycle management, and troubleshooting. My instruction focuses on real‑world issues, not textbook theory — preparing teams to handle the same high‑impact problems I solve in the field.

Why I Started Granite Peak Technologies
After years supporting DoD missions and enterprise virtualization platforms, I founded Granite Peak Technologies to give organizations access to senior‑level VMware/VxRail engineering without the cost of a full‑time hire.
My goal is simple: Provide elite‑level virtualization expertise with the clarity, honesty, and discipline I learned in the Marine Corps.
Whether you need an upgrade, a remediation, a deployment, or ongoing support, I bring the same mission‑focused mindset to every engagement.
My Values
• Precision — Every environment deserves clean, stable, predictable engineering.
• Integrity — Clear communication, honest assessments, no surprises.
• Reliability — I deliver work that stands up under pressure.
• Mission Focus — Your infrastructure becomes my responsibility.
