Summary
Timothy Shores is a Full Stack Developer with eight years of cross-functional experience building and operating healthcare-grade software, currently holding roles at Optum where he shipped and maintained HIPAA-regulated microservices on AKS and owned CI/CD for core PBM revenue lines. He blends hands-on full-stack work (React/TypeScript, Java/Spring Boot, Python) with DevOps and QA automation expertise—authoring a Selenium/Python framework that cut regression cycles from days to minutes and executing zero-downtime production rollouts. Timothy pairs technical rigor (load testing, vulnerability remediation, Jenkins/Groovy pipelines) with product-minded initiatives like driving Swagger/OpenAPI adoption and evaluating no-code automation platforms for scale. Before tech, he founded and scaled an events company from $1K to $2M+ revenue, giving him rare operational and customer-facing experience that informs pragmatic engineering trade-offs. Based in Salt Lake City, he’s comfortable translating complex healthcare data needs into reliable, scalable systems and mentoring teams through hands-on leadership.
