Eric Newland is a senior Node.js developer with over a decade of hands-on experience building scalable web applications and services, specializing in JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Postgres. He has a proven track record of improving performance at scale—most notably architecting a microservice cluster that cut a 10–30 second query to under one second—and integrating systems with Kafka, Redis, and Elasticsearch on Kubernetes. Comfortable as both an individual contributor and a technical lead, he has scoped projects, written specifications, mentored junior developers, and managed small teams. His background spans product-focused A/B testing that drove millions in revenue, bespoke scraping and licensing systems, and strong operational practices around security and PII/PHI protection. Based in Dayton, Ohio, Eric blends deep backend expertise with practical DevOps experience (Docker, EKS, bash) and a designer’s eye from earlier work in graphics and web design.
