Summary
James Krot is a pragmatic engineering leader with over a decade of hands-on experience building and modernizing full-stack and embedded systems, currently leading software at Johnson Health Tech from Madison, WI. He blends deep front-end expertise (Angular, React, Vue) with systems work in C++, Java, Node.js and cloud architecture on AWS, consistently driving rewrites, performance tuning, and technical debt reduction. James has repeatedly improved developer experience through automation and containerized workflows, and has led cross-functional teams and contractor transitions while serving as scrum master. He has a track record of rescuing legacy apps—migrating Silverlight and Knockout-era code to modern frameworks—and optimizing backends from single-threaded to multithreaded processing. Notably, he pairs embedded-hardware experience with web and mobile integrations (large-file uploaders, native app troubleshooting), giving him an uncommon ability to bridge device and cloud. He’s practical, delivery-focused, and equally comfortable sketching architecture proposals as he is shipping production fixes.
