Email: jp@joepeterson.work

Spent 15 years as the sole or lead technologist at lean companies. Most recently 7 years at a global fitness brand — inherited a broken offshore platform, rebuilt it into a subscription system processing $2.5M+ in annual revenue across 25,000+ users in 100+ countries, never more than three developers. I operate at the intersection of hands-on engineering and executive strategy. Looking for a remote Director, VP, or CTO role at a small company that needs one person to own the full technology function and trusts them to do it.

Remote: Open to remote, hybrid, or onsite

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, React, PostgreSQL, Prisma, REST APIs, Jest, Supertest, Playwright, GitHub Actions

About: Early-career fullstack/backend developer focused primarily on backend engineering. Recently built and deployed a full-stack task management application using React, Express, Prisma, and PostgreSQL with integration testing, CI/CD, and cloud deployment. Particularly interested in backend systems, APIs, testing, and scalable application architecture.

sr. cloud software engineer @ Mastercard (5 years)

  Designed and built Platform-as-a-Service for microservice workloads running on Azure and AWS
  to migrate on-prem workloads to the cloud. The platform operates globally, allowing teams to 
  deploy to several Azure-backed regions worldwide. Helped plan and create regional landing zones
  in Azure for application teams wanting to perform globally. Designed platform components using 
  Terraform, Go, and Node; developed support tooling using Bash, Python, and Azure CLI. De-risk the 
  platform by addressing security vulnerabilities and ensuring the platform is PCI compliant.

  Worked as part of the DevOps team to manage a 15k core CentOS HPC cluster. Designed and implemented
  Python-based security scanning pipeline to securely deploy & run Apptainer images via SLURM.
  Coordinated cross-team emergency patching efforts. Collaborated with researchers and engineers across
  3-letter institutions to deliver secure research infrastructure. Built CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub, Jenkins,
  to automate code builds, testing, and deployments. Wrote Puppet modules to manage configuration of HPC fleet. 
  Wrote custom Puppet module & Python scripts to automatically remediate Tenable findings.

  Used Django, Celery, Selenium grid, and AWS API Gateway for IP rotation to scrape USPTO patent PDFs,
  apply CV for data extraction, and generate reports with relevant claims, saving employees 4-5 hours daily.
  Wrote E2E black-box/fuzzing unit tests. Automated on-premise deployment via Github Actions and Ansible.
