Summary
Joel Perkins is a Software Engineer II with eight years of full‑stack experience building user-centric web applications and data platforms from California. He’s delivered end-to-end systems—from architecting ACID-compliant SQL schemas, AWS deployments and Node.js APIs to leading front-end work with React, TypeScript and D3 for analytics and interaction tracking. At Flume he drove internal tools including an ML data-labeling platform and customer support app that measurably improved troubleshooting and response times, and at Healthgrades he optimized Elasticsearch and implemented caching to cut API costs. Now at Smartsheet, he continues to blend thoughtful UX engineering with scalable backend design, guided by a philosophy that “every click is a transaction between the application and the user.” An active OSS tinkerer, he also maintains personal projects spanning live web radio and a SaaS form builder, reflecting a mix of product curiosity and practical engineering.
