About Dixon Whitmire

I was one of the first ten engineering hires for PokitDok.com, an API platform providing connections to healthcare payers and systems. My contributions to the team helped lead to a successful exit via Change Healthcare.My strong suit, and sweet spot, is developing distributed, scalable, and secure backend/system services which are pleasant to use. I am comfortable as an individual contributor, team lead, or architect depending on the environment. I help teams accelerate delivery while writing scalable, clean, and well tested code.I\'m a lover of languages and am comfortable with Python, Go, Java, and C#.I have contributed to open source projects including- Apache Camel (https://camel.apache.org/)- Podman Compose (https://github.com/containers/podman-compose)- Open EMR LinuxForHealth (https://github.com/linuxforhealth). I am enthusiastic about AI tooling and have implemented it into my daily work for code generation and review.And yes in my profile picture I am riding a bear holding a bucket of popcorn!
