James McCarthy

I'm a full-stack developer with several years of experience building and maintaining software for public-sector and telecom platforms. I focus on performance, maintainability, and user experience, with expertise spanning from frontend React applications to robust backend services using modern technologies like NestJS, SQL, and legacy systems.

My experience includes developing SaaS tools for U.S. state agencies managing disaster relief funding, as well as full-stack software for ISP operations including service provisioning, broadband metrics, and hardware inventory. I've delivered on-call support to international clients, resolving time-sensitive bugs and access issues while building RESTful APIs and interactive data visualizations for monitoring network traffic and performance.

I value clear communication, curiosity, and thoughtful collaboration. I look for ways to improve my craft and support teammates, whether through code reviews, documentation, or asking good questions. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies or enjoying the beautiful landscapes around Hamilton, ON.
