Summary
Chuck Hinson is a Senior Engineer with over 30 years in IT and 14 years of recent hands-on experience delivering web-based systems for military, government, and commercial clients. He specializes in designing and implementing collaborative situational awareness and enterprise web applications, driving performance improvements, architecture simplification, and migrations to cloud environments like AWS GovCloud. Chuck blends full lifecycle delivery with tool and tech-stack selection, continuous integration, and virtualization, and has led major platform upgrades (e.g., JBoss4→JBoss7) with zero-production disruption. He mentors teams in test-driven, agile practices and has prototyped integrations for real-time data ingestion, Google Earth visualizations, and SOA experiments for constrained networks. Comfortable across Java/Groovy ecosystems and front-end frameworks, he pairs deep low-level systems experience (from device drivers and firmware early in his career) with modern web and cloud engineering.
