Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Anderson is a lead software engineer in Atlanta with a decade of experience building and modernizing production web platforms across Cox Automotive and Teladoc Health. He blends hands-on full‑stack expertise—Ruby on Rails, Node, React, AWS serverless, DynamoDB and CI/CD—with practical product ownership on dealer-to-dealer marketplace features like Manheim Express. Known for incrementally migrating monoliths to microservices, he pairs technical stewardship with mentoring and on-call support practices that keep teams shipping and maintaining reliability. His background in teaching and international roles informs a clear communicator who excels at onboarding and cross-functional collaboration. Outside engineering, he’s the bearded, bald guy with glasses who enjoys a good “Mr. Potatohead” comparison—an attention-grabbing detail that mirrors his approachable leadership style.
