👤
SeniorJames Benner is a Research Scientist and seasoned full‑stack software engineer with 12 years of experience building production web apps, APIs, and data pipelines across startups, consulting firms, and enterprise clients. He specializes in Python and TypeScript ecosystems, pairing backend services (FastAPI, Flask, Java) with modern front‑end frameworks (Angular, Vue) to deliver performant, accessible user experiences. His work spans ML-driven document processing, real‑time collaboration, streaming services, and large e-commerce platforms, often adding automation, testing, and DevOps practices to streamline delivery.
