Top SchoolJohn Estess is a JDK Production Engineer with 12 years of software engineering experience spanning C++, JVM languages, cloud architectures, and large-scale build systems. He specializes in source-to-production automation, mega cross-platform C++ compilations, and deploying enterprise Java microservices across heterogeneous environments. His background includes hands-on roles at Microsoft (large multi-architecture build farms and C++17 modernization), Nike and Costco (microservices, Kubernetes, AKS, and deployment automation), and cloud migration work using Terraform, Go, and AWS. Comfortable in many languages and tooling—Java, Scala, Go, Ruby, Puppet, CDKTF, and scripting—he tends to own the glue that keeps complex systems reproducible and deployable.
