Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Vanderburg is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building web-scale applications and leading technical migrations, currently at Jove Legal after a multi-year tenure modernizing systems for the PGA of America. He specializes in Ruby on Rails and React, with practical experience integrating legacy CRMs, replacing ColdFusion systems, and consolidating business logic from Node APIs to Rails while preserving data parity for large user bases. James has led feature and refactor initiatives that cut operational friction—such as eliminating paper change forms for 31,000+ members—and leveraged AI to recreate test suites for safe migrations. Earlier work at USAA and Gaslight gave him a strong backend foundation with Spring Boot, Kafka, and distributed databases plus front-end skills in React and Redux. A second-generation coder and Texas A&M CS graduate, he pairs pragmatic engineering discipline with a user-first mindset rooted in student-organization product work that first hooked him on solving real-world problems.
