About Jonathan G.

I am the founder of Skorppio, a company that provides on-demand access to high-performance compute hardware rentals for teams running rendering, AI, and other compute-intensive workloads.My background spans IT, networking, and production environments where system reliability matters more than peak benchmarks. That experience shapes how Skorppio is built. We rent bare-metal workstations and multi-GPU systems designed for sustained load, predictable behavior, and real-world production use.I am directly involved in system design, from GPU configuration and memory planning to networking and deployment strategy. The focus is not theoretical performance, but how hardware behaves after hours or days of continuous execution, where failures are expensive and discovered late.Alongside the hardware, I led the development of Skorppio’s online rental platform, including identity verification, early-stage credit underwriting, real-time inventory awareness, and automated quoting. Much of this infrastructure was built internally because existing rental tools were not designed for high-value compute assets.I also publish technical writing on compute hardware, performance behavior, and the tradeoffs between local systems and cloud infrastructure. The goal is practical clarity, not marketing positioning.Skorppio is not trying to replace cloud providers or sell abstract capacity. We exist to give teams direct, temporary access to serious compute hardware when they need it, without forcing long-term ownership or architectural lock-in.

Experience

1. Founder

   Skorppio

   Jan 2024 — Present · Los Angeles, CA, US

   I founded Skorppio to give teams access to serious compute power without forcing long-term ownership or fragile cloud workflows.Skorppio rents high-performance workstations and multi-GPU systems to companies working in AI, VFX, animation, research, and other compute-intensive fields. This is bare-metal hardware deployed on demand, qualified for sustained production workloads.My background spans IT, networking, and VFX production, which shapes how we spec systems and design our platform. I led the build of Skorppio’s online rental experience, including identity verification, early credit underwriting, real-time inventory awareness, and automated quoting.We focus on predictability under load, not theoretical benchmarks.
