Summary
John Sullivan is a versatile software developer with 11 years of experience building full-stack and cloud-native systems, from interactive LED displays to large-scale event-sourcing pipelines at Walmart Global Tech. He blends frontend frameworks (React, Svelte, ClojureScript) with backend services (Node, ASP.NET Core, Java, Python) and has hands-on expertise in AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, Kafka, and observability tooling. As an independent consultant he scopes client projects end-to-end—design, deployment, hosting and cost planning—while earlier roles added studio sysadmin and automation chops (Ansible, render farms, AD). He excels at turning ambiguous requirements into durable, monitored production systems and has a track record of improving operational reliability and reducing maintenance churn. Based in New Orleans, he brings both academic research experience in signal processing/gesture recognition and practical delivery for cultural and enterprise clients.
