Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoel Gritter is a Lead Full Stack Developer with 10 years of experience building reliable, secure web platforms for banking and non-profit organizations, currently focused on Canadian business banking at RBC. He combines Java Spring Boot, Angular, MongoDB and cloud/data tooling like PySpark and S3 to deliver end-to-end solutions—from automated mass onboarding systems tied to an acquisition to real-time frontend monitoring and actioning apps. As a frontline technical leader he has driven unit-test initiatives, major framework upgrades, and mentored early talent through hiring and co-op programs. Notable contributions include front-end work on the Scratch website and a patent-pending prize-winning solution from an RBC hack program, showing both community-minded open-source interest and creative problem-solving. He balances product delivery with operational reliability, often bridging data pipelines and client-facing interfaces. Based in Old Toronto, he prefers human-first outreach (and will call out recruiters who don’t read his profile).
