John Hogarty is a seasoned software developer with 12 years of experience building backend APIs, automation, and infrastructure solutions across financial, telecommunications, and government environments. Currently a lead developer at Oracle, he specializes in Ruby, Elixir, Go, Bash and legacy Perl, with a strong emphasis on test-driven, performant API design and CI/CD-driven delivery. He has repeatedly modernized stacks—rewriting APIs for testability, replacing Vagrant with Docker for faster CI, and adapting DBs to streamline development—and pairs deep systems knowledge with hands-on DevOps and observability work (Prometheus/Grafana). Comfortable across network/server administration and application development, he brings rare dual expertise in managing on-prem and cloud-adjacent data centers while producing repeatable, documented tooling and migrations. His background in economics and long tenure at large enterprises lends him pragmatic judgement for prioritizing engineering investments that reduce risk and operational load.
