Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Elsey is a cloud-focused Lead Engineer with around 15 years of professional experience and a nearly 20-year software background, currently shaping AWS-based microservices for mission-critical tolling and enterprise systems. He blends deep backend skills in Java, Node.js and Go with hands-on cloud engineering—DynamoDB, EMR and broader AWS services—plus practical experience in IoT, robotics and AI domains. James has repeatedly led API-first integrations for large clients (Tabcorp, ANZ, Transurban) and has a track record of modernising legacy systems into scalable, testable services. Comfortable across mobile, big data and API gateway technologies, he pairs technical leadership with mentoring and cross-team delivery experience. Based in Greendale, Victoria, he brings a pragmatic focus on reliability and operational excellence, informed by early work in toll systems and ongoing cloud consultancy. An engineer who moves between code and architecture, he often surfaces simple patterns to tame complex integrations.
