Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDennis Frett is a senior Java engineer with 13+ years of experience building robust RESTful web services and protocol stacks across enterprise environments, currently contributing to Target's HR portfolio. He brings deep systems and networking expertise from a long tenure at IBM—developing IPsec, firewall, and SNA/peer-to-peer stacks for IBM i/AS400/AIX—combined with modern cloud enablement skills in Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. Comfortable across Java, C++, and Python, he delivers end-to-end solutions spanning backend services, RDBMS tuning (DB2, Postgres, MS SQL), and front-end integrations using Angular and JavaScript. His background uniquely blends low-level protocol development and security standards (IETF, FIPS, PKI) with agile web-service delivery in production retail and weather-data contexts. Based in Minneapolis, he pairs a CS degree from Iowa State with unexpected social-work training (MSW), reflecting an ability to bridge technical depth with people-focused collaboration.
