Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBob Herrmann is a senior consultant and pragmatic systems modernizer with 17 years of focused experience and a 35-year career history of tackling the legacy systems others avoid. Based in Massachusetts, he repeatedly moves mission-critical applications—healthcare HL7 pipelines, enterprise reporting, payment and order-management microservices, and trading systems—onto more maintainable, testable platforms. He combines hands-on engineering (Java, Spring, Clojure/ClojureScript, Kafka) with practical DevOps and data tooling, including generators for realistic, non-HIPAA test data and tracing for complex event flows. Bob excels at end-to-end delivery: gathering requirements, iterating designs with stakeholders, and shipping resilient production services. He brings a trader’s mindset to engineering problems, having built experimental stock-exchange and robotics-evaluation systems that blend algorithmic exploration with production rigor. Quietly curious and unfazed by messy codebases, he turns brittle systems into predictable, observable platforms.
