Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKirk Yuknis is a Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience designing and shipping resilient enterprise systems across healthcare, defense, utilities, and logistics. He specializes in bridging legacy and modern platforms—building dual-write COBOL-to-microservices bridges, greenfield event-driven pipelines on Kubernetes/GKE, and secure DoD-grade applications using CAC/X.509 and HSM-based signing. A Java and Spring Boot expert who also stands up infrastructure (K8s, SIEM/ELK, Pub/Sub/Kafka) and writes custom parsers for obscure standards like UN/EDIFACT, he owns full lifecycles from architecture through production support. His Navy background as a Cryptologic Technician and TS/SCI clearance informs a disciplined, security-first approach and a knack for performing under pressure. Based in Jacksonville, FL, he’s drawn to technically demanding problems where reliability and careful preparation matter—both in code and in his hobbies as a certified diver and powered-paraglider pilot.
