Top SchoolJohn Nahlen is an independent software engineer with 16 years of experience and a 13-year track record of designing and shipping resilient, production-grade systems. He specializes in architecting full-stack .NET solutions, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and distributed microservices with a strong emphasis on failure domains, operational concerns, and security before writing code. Comfortable owning the full lifecycle, he has built large-scale services including a multi-provider push-notification system, managed MySQL estates near 4TB, and implemented robust message queuing and retry patterns. Past roles span enterprise and startup contexts where he led backend modernization, API gateway integrations, and high-impact front-end rewrites that improved real-world performance metrics. Based in Boise, Idaho, he pairs deep technical judgment with hands-on implementation and is open to senior or staff backend/full-stack opportunities. A detail that often goes unnoticed: his certifications across IT fundamentals and AI/ops (CompTIA A+, ITF+, AI Essentials) underline a commitment to both infrastructure discipline and emerging tech.
