Summary
Daniel Carda is a Senior Java Developer with 30+ years of software engineering experience and over a decade focused on backend J2EE, microservices, and enterprise application modernization. He has led architecture and migration efforts for high-revenue systems—most recently modernizing Denver’s $70M wastewater billing suite and upgrading enterprise platforms at Charles Schwab and First Data—bringing legacy Java stacks into secure, cloud-ready environments. A pragmatic advocate of component-based architecture and test-driven development, he pairs deep knowledge of algorithms and distributed systems with hands-on skills in JBoss/WebLogic, Maven, Docker, REST/SOAP, JMS, and Selenium-driven integration testing. He founded and ran CardaTechnologies, evidencing entrepreneurial grit and long-term client relationships, and often builds local developer environments (Docker/WebSphere) to accelerate team delivery. Based in Littleton, Colorado, he balances operational production support instincts with strategic design work, and his GitHub motto, "Audentes Fortuna Iuvat," reflects a career of bold, reliability-first technical decisions.
