Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Varilla is a staff full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience leading architecture, migrations, and high-performing teams inside a Fortune 10 enterprise. He has driven multi-million and billion-dollar product outcomes—most notably a PCF-to-OpenShift migration that saved $10M and leadership of a B2B product through feature, staffing, and process evolution. Joe blends hands-on coding (Angular, Spring Boot, microfrontends) with organizational change: hiring and developing 30+ engineers, seeding 11 teams, and establishing tooling, governance, and SRE practices across 40+ applications. He consistently turns struggling projects into production-grade systems—one greenfield app now enforces hundreds of millions in contract pricing rules. A former K–12 programming instructor, he brings rare teaching experience that translates into deliberate mentoring and clear technical communication. Currently focused on STRONG (systems, tools, reliability, observability, incident management, governance), he pairs pragmatic execution with a talent for simplifying complexity.
