Summary
Ian Sherwood is a seasoned full-stack Creationalist with over two decades of experience designing and shipping performant web and mobile systems, currently building serverless architectures (AWS CDK, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB) with Vue/Nuxt front-ends. He blends hands-on development with technical leadership—mentoring teams, setting architecture and UX standards, and formalizing emerging-technology programs that turned research into productized services. His background spans microservices, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and legacy enterprise integrations, with measurable impact such as improving medication adherence and reducing infrastructure costs through strategic migrations. Based in Michigan, he pairs a tinkerer’s curiosity—brewing, biking, welding and singing—with pragmatic engineering, often evangelizing new patterns and automation to raise team “dev IQ.” Notably, he has a history of shipping production-grade integrations and microservices long before SOA became mainstream.
