Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarl Golka is a full-stack UXL platform engineer with 15+ years of professional JavaScript experience, currently helping modernize Marriott’s digital stack with GraphQL, Apollo Federation, and scalable backend plugins. He combines hands-on React/Next.js front-end work—down to pixel-perfect UI and Tailwind—with deep backend skills in PostgreSQL, Redis, and complex GQL schema and resolver design. Karl has led small engineering teams, driven major DB refactors (including dozens of stored procedures and CTE-heavy migrations), and instituted comprehensive testing pyramids and CI practices at startups and enterprise firms. Terraform-certified and experienced with serverless and GCP, he’s as focused on developer experience, reducing tech debt, and maintainable architecture as on shipping features. Based in Port Saint Lucie, FL, he brings rare breadth across front-end polish and large-scale backend engineering within monorepos and distributed systems.
