James Thullbery is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building and leading engineering teams to deliver reliable, scalable SaaS platforms. He has progressed from hands-on development roles at Teladoc to architecture and leadership positions—CTO, Director of Engineering, and Technical Lead—driving migrations, CI/CD adoption, and multi-cloud operations. James excels at taking products from legacy systems to modern architectures, having led zero-downtime migrations, API rewrites, and performance optimizations for multi-tenant systems. He combines strong technical stewardship (DB schema design, backend APIs, DevOps) with people leadership, mentoring teams and organizing community meetups like ReactJS Charlotte. Based in Bonney Lake, WA, he’s comfortable oscillating between strategy and code, often running weekend hackathons to accelerate product lift for sales and customer outcomes. A pragmatic problem-solver, he pairs operational rigor with a developer-first approach to shipping secure, maintainable software.
