Dallas, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Crowley is a Principal Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and delivering distributed SaaS systems across cloud and on-prem environments. He has led large-scale platform efforts—most recently architecting division-wide reference architectures, Terraform modules, and deployment pipelines at First American—and scaled teams and services across multiple continents. James combines hands-on implementation (Python, Node.js, C#, Terraform, React) with practitioner-led architecture: he’s built CI/CD, immutable Jenkins stacks, serverless and ECS solutions, and an SSO/RBAC fabric federated with corporate SSO. As a former delivery practice head, he grew discovery work into multimillion-dollar engagements and shipped commercial-grade ARC IaC tooling. Rooted in early web-era tinkering and a non-traditional academic background in history, he brings a practical autodidact’s curiosity that repeatedly turns research and prototypes into production-ready platforms. Based in Dallas, he favors pragmatic, security-conscious cloud designs that accelerate teams from MVP to GA.
