Top SchoolJohn Myrda is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building robust, production-grade systems focused on improving American healthcare. Currently at Collective Health, he designs fault-tolerant ETL pipelines and Java Spring Boot microservices deployed on Kubernetes, and has integrated Prometheus/Grafana observability to maintain reliability at scale. His background in test engineering and regression tooling—creating end-to-end and load test frameworks, RabbitMQ monitoring scripts, and parallel accuracy pipelines—reveals a strong emphasis on correctness and data fidelity in mission-critical claim systems. Comfortable across the stack, he combines Linux systems experience, Docker-based multi-system test environments, and CI/CD automation to shorten feedback loops and reduce incidents.
