About James Dobry

My journey started as a self-taught web developer at the age of 14. Balancing high school obligations, sports and my clients allowed me to grow as a Software Developer and an Entrepreneur. This has allowed me to understand the Web and the technologies that power our everyday lives. Learning everything from custom CMS system designs to SEO to Accessibility, driving me to create beautiful user experiences for everyone, not just the majority.Currently, I am a Senior Software Engineer at GrubHub, focusing on Frontend Software Development, where I help millions of diners manage their orders, provide upsell offers, and save time and money handling issues with their orders via automation. Working with brilliant engineers at GrubHub for over 7 and a half years, since 2016, has allowed me to grow my skill set and knowledge tremendously.I still have an entrepreneurial spirit, spending part of my free time on side projects of all kinds. From AI-generated systems to local discover mobile applications built with React Native and Serverless technologies on AWS.I have always set out to broaden my experiences with technology. Fortunately, I have had the chance to gain experience in the latest frontiers of technology including AI, ML, Web3, Cryptocurrency, and Blockchain.Outside of work, you will find me doing volunteer work for organizations like Leyden High School\'s Business Incubator program or Code Nation, helping mentor perspective engineers dabble in the computer science world. If that doesn\'t take up all of my time, then will my two dogs, a cuddly and sweet Pitbull named Nelson \"Big Head\" Bighetti and the athletic, spunky Golden Retriever, Mipha.When you don\'t find me volunteering or walking dogs, you can find me doing crafts and house projects.I\'m always looking to grow my personal and professional network.
