Summary
Johnathan Santiago is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient Java and cloud-native systems, currently contributing at The Home Depot from Knoxville, Tennessee. He has a strong track record modernizing legacy APIs and infrastructure—reducing latency by 80%, improving throughput by 50%, and boosting maintainability through GraphQL/REST hybrids and connection-pool/Redis optimizations. Comfortable across the stack, he has led migrations to RabbitMQ, automated CRDB snapshotting on GKE, and tuned Google Cloud auto-scaling to avoid premature scale-ups. His background blends enterprise and public-sector projects, a master's in computer science, and hands-on ops skills from assembly and network courses—an unusual mix that helps him spot both high-level architecture gaps and low-level performance fixes.
