John Longo

Hello! I’m John, a Certified AWS Cloud Engineer with a very diverse skill set. I started my career back in the 80’s as a CICS programmer and have been working on distributed systems since the 90’s.

I started developing web applications using Java and the first iteration application servers (before J2EE was even a thought). As the Java specification grew, I developed my skills in range of different servers including WebSphere, JBOSS, WebLogic, Apache Tomcat embedded (Spring Boot). I also aquired skills along the way with TypeScript/Express and Python/Flask. My broad experience using these applications allows me to successfully work on a variety of different projects within multiple different industries and systems.

I currently develop mostly with Python and AWS Lambda. I also can do work converting Traditional Java monolithic applications (JSP, etc.) to Spring Boot (OpenShift), Quarkus/Graalvm, Node/TypeScript and Python/Flask to create REST API running in OpenShift and AWS Lambda that are typically used by UI apps developed using Angular, React, Vue & Ext JS.

If you like to get more detail on my technical experience, please click on the Home Lab link to review my application prototypes I have running in the on-premises lab and AWS Cloud. There you will find the detail of each prototype, the technology used and the URL to the application running in my VMware/OpenShift cluster and AWS Lambda.

So that’s my experience in a couple of paragraphs. On a personal note, I’m originally from Pennsylvania (Go Steelers! been a fan since the early 70's), and I’ve lived in New Jersey for the past 30 years with my wife, Pat. We have a daughter, Jess, a yellow lab, Beau, and two cats, Lucy and Ricky. When I’m not working, I love to go fishing.

If you have a project you currently need help with I would love to chat. Please feel free to email or call me.
