Janet Riley is a Staff Engineer with 14 years of backend and technical leadership experience building user-focused web applications across travel, healthcare, and marketing domains. She excels at breaking complex systems into incremental deliverables, leading migrations from monoliths to AWS microservices, and delivering zero-downtime integrations such as IMAP-to-Gmail inbox syncs. Her work ranges from consumer-facing products that help travelers and asthma patients to analytics and ETL systems for enterprise customers, combining hands-on coding with mentoring and architect-level decisions. Comfortable in polyglot environments (Python/Django, Node, Google Cloud, AWS), she also experiments with emerging tech—she prototyped LLM integrations at TripIt via SAP’s AI platform. Based in Greater Boston, she pairs technical depth with approachability and a pragmatic focus on outcomes that matter to real people.
