Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Wu is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack, cloud-native applications, currently crafting new experiences for AWS and recently joined Capital One. He has a strong background in serverless architectures, CI/CD, and performance optimization—having reduced critical data processing runtimes from 27s to 3s and built real-time S3–Datomic synchronization systems. Comfortable across languages and frameworks (Clojure/ClojureScript, Java, React) and infrastructure tooling (Terraform, Lambdas, API Gateway), he combines backend rigor with front-end product sensibility. Based in New Orleans, he pairs disciplined engineering with an active lifestyle—running, calisthenics, travel—and brings the same persistence to goals like dunking a basketball.
