Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Shaffer is a freelance software developer with nine years of technical experience and a background that spans the U.S. Navy’s information systems to quality engineering and full-stack web development. He specializes in responsive, test-driven JavaScript applications using React, Node.js, HTML/CSS/SASS and SQL, and has driven adoption of TDD/BDD practices on enterprise projects for clients like Charles Schwab and Citi through FDM Group. His systems-thinking is bolstered by an M.S. in Systems Engineering and hands-on work improving code quality, dependency security, and test coverage in complex codebases. Adam’s career is defined by a practical focus on reliability and measurable improvement—whether refactoring to lower cognitive complexity, resolving supply-chain quality issues, or maintaining satellite communications at sea. He learns continuously (Flatiron School, freeCodeCamp) and pairs engineering rigor with real-world discipline from strength training, yoga, and martial arts. Based in Panama, Illinois, he brings a rare mix of operational, quality, and software-development experience to freelance projects that need both technical depth and process maturity.
