Summary
John Radke is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building pragmatic, user-focused web and desktop applications from Milwaukee. He excels as a generalist—shipping front-end interfaces, integrations, and backend services that prioritize clarity, responsiveness, and maintainability. At Quad he led projects from a mobile IT alert client and calendaring/on-call systems to a drag-and-drop scheduler for thousands of servers and performance optimizations that halved dashboard load times. Earlier work at the Medical College of Wisconsin shows a strong data and tooling mindset, where he built genotyping pipelines, a drug-classification system, and a DNA fingerprinting QA tool. He favors minimal, discoverable UX and human-readable code, with descriptive naming and terse comments so teammates can quickly grok and extend his work. If you value software that anticipates user expectations and is easy for others to maintain, he’s the engineer who delivers it consistently.
