James Booth
Head of Infrastructure and Platform @ Tesorio Engineering leader with 20+ years of experienceAbout
I’m a software engineering leader with 20+ years of experience developing innovative solutions in both corporate and startup environments. I’ve personally architected, deployed and maintained production services (mostly NodeJS) utilizing much of AWS, built out the CI/CD infrastructure and scaled out the team to build on it. I have a thorough understanding of the software development lifecycle, and throughout my career, I’ve been a part of, worked closely with, or managed teams on the front-end, backend, QA, Ops and Security. A believer in a DevOps culture, I’m always looking for ways to help teams work more efficiently.
I can help you achieve your goals by guiding you in many aspects of software architecture and beyond including:
- Software Architecture Design and UML
- Coding Standards and Practices
- AWS
- NodeJS, Javascript
- System Performance, Scalability, Reliability
- Security and Compliance
- Unit and Integration Testing Best Practices
- Defining Requirements and Roadmapping
- CI/CD
