Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Gilliland is a forward-deployed software engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, data-centric systems for mission-critical users. He blends backend service design (Node.js, NestJS, SQL/NoSQL/graph databases) with front-end data visualization (React, Angular, D3) to deliver actionable insights and polished user experiences. Jeff has repeatedly modernized legacy stacks into containerized microservices on Kubernetes, driven large-scale ETL and ingestion pipelines processing hundreds of millions of documents, and cut customer cloud costs by five figures monthly. He’s equally comfortable mentoring teams and directly partnering with end users in high-stakes military and enterprise environments, and has applied ML/RAG techniques to improve relevance and summarization in production. Based in Vienna, VA, he publishes technical articles on engineering best practices and enjoys turning complex operational requirements into pragmatic, deployable software.
