Summary
James Toney is a seasoned web developer with 11 years of experience architecting and leading web and DevOps initiatives, currently heading microservices and DevOps efforts at doTERRA. He blends domain-driven design and cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, AWS CDK) with hands-on JavaScript and Java work—Next.js, Node.js, React, Hybris/Spring—delivering production systems and CMS integrations. He has led CI/CD, test automation, and code quality programs, bringing skeptical rigor from his early military experience as an Air Traffic Controller to ensure reliable, observable deployments. Comfortable in small, cross-functional teams, he moves between strategy and implementation, from templating and frontend design to infrastructure as code. Trained in English and digital media, he pairs clear communication with technical depth, often stepping into product-facing roles to translate requirements into usable prototypes. Based in American Fork, Utah, he favors pragmatic, test-driven approaches and has a track record of stabilizing complex platforms while enabling faster feature delivery.
