Summary
James Baker is a seasoned Project Manager and full-stack technologist based in Boston with over a decade of hands-on experience delivering web applications and enterprise digital products. He blends design sensibility and engineering rigor—leading teams, building serverless AWS architectures, and shipping front-end experiences with React, Vue, Next/Nuxt and USWDS for federal and large cultural clients. At the Museum of Science he scaled dozens of apps into reusable microservices and workflow engines, managed cross-functional governance with dozens of stakeholders, and mentored developer teams. Most recently at Abt Global he has combined product leadership with developer/designer fluency to tackle complex data presentation for US government agencies. Comfortable toggling between suit-level stakeholder collaboration and deep technical implementation, he’s equally adept at Figma mockups and writing Node.js Lambdas. A lifelong builder who once assembled distributed teams across five continents, he brings practical process improvements that make future reuse and scaling easier.
