Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim O'brien is a versatile Software Engineer with 11 years of experience delivering full-stack and DevOps solutions for both large enterprises and boutique agencies, notably supporting CDC projects through Northrop Grumman/Peraton. He combines hands-on development (React, Node, PHP, WordPress) with infrastructure expertise—CI/CD, Kubernetes, Ansible, AWS—and has driven measurable efficiency gains like cutting build times by 75% and saving $25K/month via automated security scans. As DevOps lead on high-profile public health sites, he helped scale Vaccines.gov to millions of daily users and streamlined deployments to halve release times. A Toptal-vetted developer and owner of Visionquest Development, he blends agency agility with government-grade compliance and testing practices. Not obvious from job titles: he architected a custom TemplatePackage workflow that produced over 200K pages for CDC.gov, demonstrating both scalability and deep frontend optimization.
