Summary
Madison Carr is a Back-End Software Development Engineer III with nine years of experience, currently building resilient services at Expedia Group using Java, Spring, and AWS. Transitioning from a recruiting background, she turned curiosity about hiring tech into a software career, often building tools to solve real product and process problems. Comfortable across the full stack, she pairs Java expertise with front-end skills in React and JavaScript and a practical knowledge of testing tools like JUnit/Mockito and CI/CD practices. Her teaching stint at Fullstack Academy honed her mentorship and code-review skills, and she brings that coaching mindset to cross-functional collaboration and technical design. Based in the Greater Chicago area, she’s driven by daily learning and pragmatic improvements—often focusing on developer experience and automation that quietly accelerate team velocity.
