JD C
@jdc
Software engineer building scalable web apps, APIs, and cloud-native systems that improve efficiency, cost, and uptime.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer who builds measurable, production-ready products across the stack—Python backends, React frontends, and cloud-native infrastructure. I focus on optimization that shows up in real metrics: faster operations, lower costs, and higher reliability.
At GC Software Consultants, I developed a Python-based web application and improved operational efficiency by 30% while reducing server costs by 20% using containerization on AWS ECS. I also built a React.js e-commerce frontend that increased website traffic by 40% and boosted conversion rates by 25%, and I implemented Docker and Kubernetes to improve scalability, reduce deployment time by 50%, and reach 99.99% uptime on Google Cloud Platform.
Previously at Halcyon, I delivered a dynamic React.js UI for a cyber-SaaS product—raising user engagement by 35% and cutting page load times by 45% with code splitting and lazy loading. At Accenture Federal Services, I developed RESTful APIs with Python and Flask (25% faster data retrieval), automated data processing pipelines (50% less manual work), and built Go microservices that improved scalability and performance by over 63%.
