James Burke

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with extensive experience in building scalable web applications and microservices. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, where I developed a solid foundation in software engineering principles. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various programming languages and frameworks, particularly in TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python, which I have utilized to create robust applications that meet complex business needs.

At Firstsource, I successfully decomposed a monolithic appointment system into microservices, significantly enhancing the system's performance and reliability. My work involved orchestrating service communication using Kafka and implementing AI/ML solutions for patient risk stratification, which improved clinician decision-making. I take pride in my ability to lead full CI/CD implementations and ensure that the applications I develop are not only functional but also secure and compliant with industry standards.

Previously, at MetLife, I led the development of a next-gen Group Benefits web portal that impacted over 1.2 million users monthly. My proactive approach to problem-solving and my commitment to improving user experience have consistently driven positive outcomes in my projects. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency and user satisfaction.
