Summary
Eric Glass is a seasoned full-stack Java/Jakarta engineer with 13+ years of experience architecting and modernizing global web applications, currently driving containerization, microservices, and DevOps practices at Sherwin-Williams. He combines deep legacy-mainframe and enterprise-JEE expertise with modern stacks—container orchestration, Spring Boot/Micronaut/Quarkus, and contemporary front-end components—to deliver modular, reusable systems that simplify complex regulatory workflows. Known for translating monoliths into containerized micro-web applications, he has repeatedly cut substantial license and infrastructure costs while preserving a consistent user experience. A hands-on mentor and team coach, he champions documentation, testing, and observability (OpenTelemetry, Dynatrace, Jaeger) to maintain operational excellence. Notably, his background spans mainframe-to-cloud transitions, giving him a rare ability to bridge entrenched legacy systems and current cloud-native practices.
