Summary
John Reed is a Senior Consultant and seasoned software professional with 11 years of experience delivering resilient application and SRE-focused solutions across retail and enterprise environments. He has led large teams and shepherded complex migrations from legacy iSeries/AS400 systems while architecting automation, monitoring (Splunk, Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana), and SQL-driven recovery processes that kept thousands of store systems online. Comfortable across languages and stacks—from C++, Java, Python and RPGLE to PHP and modern web tooling—he combines hands-on coding with operational discipline and SDLC/Agile leadership. His background includes supervising up to 24 developers, coordinating cross-functional projects, and building productivity tools that reduced incident toil. Based in Missouri, he brings a rare blend of mechanical design rigor (AutoCAD, GD&T) and small-business operational experience that informs pragmatic, production-first engineering decisions.
