Summary
James Tortorelli is a Senior Software Development Engineer with a decade of experience building resilient, cloud-native systems across supply chain, media, and enterprise domains. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science after starting in Chemistry and Mathematics, a background that fuels his analytical approach to problem solving and love of logical puzzles. At Stord he helps modernize supply-chain tooling; previously he migrated legacy stacks to reactive, Kotlin- and Next.js-based architectures at ViacomCBS and delivered Scala microservices and testing improvements at Metova. James pairs hands-on engineering with a practical focus on testing, documentation, and event-driven design—skills honed through repeated roles converting monoliths into microservices and enforcing operational standards like PCI compliance. Raised in Idaho and now based in Lebanon, Tennessee, he brings a disciplined laboratory-trained attention to data integrity and process that quietly informs his software craftsmanship.
