Ben Michareune

As a Lead Software Engineer at Janus AI, I have honed my skills in designing and developing RESTful APIs that power essential features for both internal tools and external partner integrations. My role involves planning and implementing integrations with external APIs, which has significantly reduced reliance on fragile web automations and increased customer request success rates. I take pride in spearheading the expansion of EDI messaging services, transforming single-client systems into scalable, reusable solutions.

My experience extends to building and maintaining backend infrastructure to support automation workloads, utilizing AWS ECS and generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to enhance productivity. I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to resolve urgent integration issues, resulting in successful go-lives with contracts totaling over $15 million. My commitment to quality is evident in my initiatives to enhance unit testing and proactive bug detection, ensuring seamless transitions during module overhauls.

Previously, as a Category Specialist at Walmart E-Commerce, I developed tools using React and SQL that improved decision-making processes for leadership. My passion for technology extends beyond my professional work, as I actively contribute to open-source projects like Slack-A-Bot and Mealie, where I leverage my skills in Node.js, React, and natural language processing to create innovative solutions.
