🤩
RockstarJames Goodwin is a veteran software leader and architect with a lifelong passion for coding that began at age 10 and over two decades of experience shaping products at companies including Lotus, IBM, Intuit, Nokia, and Elastic. He has led and scaled engineering organizations—most recently a 40+ person Kibana/UI team at Elastic—and combines hands-on architecture and coding with people leadership and product-focused delivery.
