Justin combines hands-on production coding in Go, Python and JavaScript with GitOps, Ansible, and large-scale system migrations, having managed environments from thousands to tens of thousands of Linux systems across data centers and AWS. His background includes running full blockchain node fleets (Erigon and others), on-prem to cloud migrations, and building quantitative trading stacks, reflecting deep operational competence in both traditional finance and crypto. Based in the Chicago area, he pairs pragmatic automation and tooling with a curiosity for AI-assisted development and a long history of teaching and building internal platforms that reduce operational toil.
