New Jersey, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Ottinger is an experienced architect and software engineer with 12+ years building backend, front-end, and mobile solutions across Linux, macOS, and Windows environments. He has progressed from embedded Linux and e-commerce systems to senior and principal engineering roles at Linode and now Akamai, blending low-level C firmware work with modern JavaScript-driven front ends and mobile web apps. Comfortable across a wide language set (JavaScript, Python, Java, C, Perl, Objective-C, VB.NET) and databases (MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB), he gravitates toward open source tooling and pragmatic solutions that ship. A natural team leader and hands-on developer, he’s particularly focused recently on front-end engineering and mobile development while still contributing to infrastructure and tooling. Notably, his background spans embedded ARM firmware to cloud-scale delivery platforms, giving him a rare full-stack perspective that helps bridge hardware, backend, and user-facing experiences.
