Summary
Dane King is a pragmatic full stack developer with over 15 years focused on web development and roughly 20 years programming overall, skilled in Java/Spring ecosystems and modern SPAs with Angular and Vue. He consistently blends hands-on coding with an emphasis on code quality, TDD, and improving dev processes—helping teams adopt CI/CD, SonarQube, and testing practices. His background spans legacy modernizations and cloud migrations, including microservices, Docker, Kafka, and Google Cloud deployments, plus experience integrating with enterprise systems like Guidewire and JMS. Dane enjoys coaching and has led apprenticeships and developer uplift efforts that moved teams toward test-driven design and better maintainability. Based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, he brings a practical, coach-first approach that balances delivering features with long-term engineering health. A detail not obvious from titles: he’s repeatedly played the engineer-coach role, pairing, reviewing code, and designing build pipelines as often as he’s shipped features.
