About

Hi, I’m John Paul Granada, a Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building modern web apps, scalable APIs, and cloud-native platforms. I thrive in end-to-end delivery across frontend and backend, with React/TypeScript on the front and FastAPI, Django, Spring Boot, and .NET on the back, backed by SQL and NoSQL databases.

I specialize in designing secure, observable microservices, integrating third-party APIs, and shipping reliable systems on AWS and Azure with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. I enjoy adding AI/ML-powered features to improve search, automation, and analytics while keeping the core platform clean, maintainable, and performant, and I’m passionate about mentoring engineers and owning architecture decisions.
