Summary
John Guidry is a senior software engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing backend systems, currently delivering solutions at HealthJoy from New Orleans. He has led API design, containerization and CI/CD efforts, implemented enterprise billing and webhook systems, and tuned large-scale data and ML pipelines across roles at Recurly, rasa.io and iSeatz. Comfortable across client, middleware and service layers, he combines legacy-system pragmatism with cloud-native practices (AWS, Lambdas, Spark, Docker) and a knack for incremental modernization. A mentoring-minded engineer, he has coached juniors in asynchronous programming and infrastructure while driving production-ready developer tooling and OpenAPI-driven client libraries. His first spark with an Apple IIe still informs a curiosity-driven approach to solving business problems with elegant, maintainable code.
