Leadership

DevOps

Go

Noteworthy Achievements:
  • Built new React apps accessed by tens of millions of monthly active users
  • Collaborated on the development of a design system & component library
  • Upgraded legacy jQuery to ES6 TypeScript & React using Webpack and Yarn 3
  • Supported the migration of Perl monolith code to microservice based Go & Protobuf
Dossier Quotes:
James inherited an over-engineered, obscure and redundant section of our code from devs that are no longer with us and no longer available to answer questions. He had to make sense of all of it and come up with a better solution for where we wanted to go. He has delivered 150%. James has brought stability, predictability and trust to code that is crucial to our business. By doing this, he has improved the whole team's self confidence.
