Summary
Don Rumata is a pragmatic Full Stack Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and supporting custom business management software, often building end-to-end systems with Python (Django, DRF, Flask), modern JavaScript (React, Next.js), and cloud deployments on AWS/DigitalOcean. He runs his own firm, Rumata LLC, and pairs software craft with deep systems know-how from prior roles in mechanical and electrical engineering, medical device field service, and shop management—making him especially adept at translating complex physical workflows into reliable digital tools. Comfortable across Linux/Windows servers and multiple databases (Postgres, MariaDB, MongoDB), he also brings practical deployment and on-site support experience that most developers lack. His background in hydraulics, pneumatics, and industrial automation informs a methodical troubleshooting approach and an emphasis on durable, maintainable solutions. Based in Elgin, IL, Don combines entrepreneurial grit with multidisciplinary engineering instincts, favoring pragmatic stacks tailored to customer needs.
