Summary
Jeff Hudren is an independent consultant and software architect with 13+ years delivering scalable SOA and microservices-based Java systems, native iOS/Android apps, and mission-critical enterprise software. He has led small teams through full lifecycles—architecting national-scale video-over-IP systems for millions of users, modernizing predictive analytics platforms for insurance, and shipping a mobile NeoCal calculator that exceeded 600,000 downloads. Known for pragmatic performance engineering (e.g., a 120x performance improvement and 30x memory reduction at Time Warner Cable) and introducing modern practices like Kotlin, Docker, and metadata-driven SaaS, he blends deep systems thinking with hands-on coding. Jeff pairs customer-focused product sensibilities and UI/UX attention with strong mentoring and stakeholder-facing skills, helping teams adopt Agile and test-driven practices. He brings an entrepreneurial streak from decades of independent product development and a habit of pushing platforms to their limits to reduce support costs. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, he holds a BS in Computer Engineering and thrives on turning complex business needs into elegant, maintainable solutions.
