Top SchoolJoe Lippa is a seasoned Senior Back End Developer with over a decade of experience designing and maintaining cloud-native microservices across AWS, GCP and Azure, primarily using .NET technologies. He has a long track record in high-throughput, business-critical systems—from payments and betting platforms to real-time telemetry and healthcare integrations—able to span embedded C/C++ work up to TypeScript-driven front-ends. Comfortable with both stateful and stateless architectures, Joe brings deep SQL and NoSQL experience (Postgres, SQL Server, Riak) and pragmatic testing and resiliency practices. He contributes to open-source projects such as arduinoWebSockets, where he improved RFC-compliant header parsing and hardened server-side WebSocket validation. Based in Liverpool, he combines legacy-language fluency (Delphi/Pascal, VB/VBA) with modern Go, Python and cloud-native patterns, making him effective at rescuing and evolving long-lived systems. Colleagues know him as a practical “daytime .NET business systems” engineer who remains an inquisitive hacker by night.
