ABOUT ME
Senior Backend Engineer. 15+ years exp (13 years @ IBM).
Senior Backend Engineer. 15+ years exp (13 years @ IBM).
I've been a senior fullstack engineer for over a decade. I spent the past five years teaching developers how to build cloud applications as a Lead Developer Advocate. Working in developer relations built my skills in helping others and I want to continue this online. I've written production codes in dozens of languages (C++, Python, Java, Go, etc...) and currently building apps in JavaScript (TypeScript) on Node.js and AWS Cloud.

James was incredibly knowledgable about how responsive image sets are handled on the backend, and gave me a firm and credible overview of the various AWS services that I can leverage to manage the process, as well as suggestions and ideas on how to optimize the technical and cost load of running the process. I genuinely appreciated our session!
