Hi, I'm James Zaccardo, I'm a Techincal Architect

I've been making user-centered software for over 14 years.

I specialize in Microservice Architecture, AI/ML integration, LLM implementation, full-stack application development, and creating robust APIs with Rust, Go, Node.js, and Java.

I know how to catch problems before they happen. Check out some of my past work.
