Open to remote senior software engineering roles

I own production softwarefrom the interface to the infrastructure.

I’m Joseph Meeko, a senior software engineer with 5+ years shipping SaaS across PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Python, AWS, and OpenSearch. I turn ambiguous product needs and difficult production failures into clear, reliable systems.

My strongest edge is evidence-first production work: read the real data flow, find the root cause, make the smallest correct change, test it hard, and stay accountable after it ships.

experience --production

Product ownership backed by operational depth.

Two companies, increasing responsibility, and a consistent record of owning the software customers depend on.

Full-Stack Developer → Software Engineering Manager

Jul 2021 – Mar 2025

Advanced from developer to manager while owning Envision EHR, a multi-tenant PHP and MySQL platform serving more than 50,000 end users.

  • Built the platform’s first electronic-claim submission system, enabling direct payer reimbursement for customer practices.
  • Led production features across billing, clinical workflows, forms, integrations, and infrastructure.
  • Hired and mentored the first engineering intern from new graduate to full-time contributor.
  • Established code-review and deployment standards on a previously single-developer codebase.

ls ./selected-work

Four examples of how I solve real production problems.

The common thread is full ownership: understand the system, protect the user, and improve the path that follows.

Data integrity

Protected analytics from corrupt source data

Traced inflated engagement calculations to malformed OpenSearch documents, then added a focused likes-to-reach integrity guard across four analytics modules instead of forcing a risky upstream rewrite.

Cloud data systems

Reworked paid-media ingestion to fit the production window

Replaced a highly paginated TikTok Ads path with day-level report aggregation so all-organization processing completed within a 15-minute Lambda window.

Product engineering

Built a visual automation system from scratch

Delivered trigger selection, keyword conflict detection, eleven reorderable action types, an accurate phone preview, and validation that reports completion only when a flow is truly valid.

Platform delivery

Removed brittle deployment access failures

Migrated Bitbucket deployments to AWS CodeDeploy with OIDC federation, eliminating dynamic-IP allow-list failures while keeping deployment permissions scoped and repeatable.

run responsible-ai-workflow

AI increases my speed. It does not replace my judgment.

I use Claude Code and Codex as real engineering tools for repository analysis, debugging, implementation, test design, and agentic workflows. I stay accountable for the architecture, the diff, the tests, and the production result.

I also built a Python Slack-to-Claude Code orchestration service with task queues, structured parsing, retries, timeouts, interrupts, and persistent logs.
  1. 01

    Frame the system

    Read the architecture, constraints, data flow, and failure boundary before changing code.

  2. 02

    Direct the tools

    Use Claude Code and Codex to investigate, draft, compare approaches, and accelerate repetitive work.

  3. 03

    Review every change

    Inspect production-bound code line by line; verify assumptions against the repository and surrounding behavior.

  4. 04

    Prove the result

    Test deeply, add focused coverage, confirm operational impact, and remain responsible for what ships.

whoami --beyond-code

Reliable, honest, kind, and present.

Those are the words I want colleagues and family to use about me. I enjoy translating complexity into calm decisions, teaching without ego, and building useful things that make people’s work or daily life better.
