James Smith

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with about eight years of experience building reliable backend and frontend systems for enterprise IoT and real-time video solutions. I focus on Go, Python and React to deliver scalable, production-ready services.

At Axis I designed and developed Go backend services with GraphQL and REST APIs, integrated Python tooling for deployment and monitoring, and optimized SQLite-based services to improve query performance and consistency. I reduced API response time by 35% and built a secure device-to-cloud data pipeline used by global clients.

As a consultant at HiQ I led frontend and API integrations, creating a React/Next.js component library that cut frontend development time by 35% and delivered Go/SQLite backends for rapid client rollouts. I implemented Python automation and API test frameworks that improved release quality and accelerated client product launches.

I also bring embedded and systems experience, having developed C and Python modules for custom SoC architectures and transitioned prototypes to production. I thrive in agile, cross-functional teams, enjoy mentoring engineers, and prioritize reliability, performance, and pragmatic delivery.
