Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Aquino is a Full Stack Engineer with eight years of experience building production systems across startups and defense contractors, now based in Los Angeles. He pairs a BS in Computer Science with a mathematics minor to tackle data-heavy problems, having implemented large-scale ingestion pipelines with Spark, Airflow, and Databricks at Edmunds. Comfortable across the stack, he’s shipped backend APIs, serverless Lambdas, and microservices—work that spans Node.js, Scala/Java, and PHP/Lumen—while deploying on AWS with CI/CD. His background includes embedded/mission-critical systems at Northrop Grumman and pragmatic product-focused engineering at Ticketmaster and META+LAB. Known for a hands-on, iterative approach (his GitHub motto: “I try to make things and fail miserably”), he treats failure as rapid learning and consistently turns prototypes into reliable services. Currently contributing full-stack expertise to WeGive, he focuses on delivering scalable, testable systems that bridge data engineering and user-facing applications.
