What this episode covers
James Hood is a Senior Software Developer at Amazon with about 15 years experience in the software industry. He has worked in both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Retail systems solving problems at "Amazon scale", which has fueled his passion for writing quality software that works at scale and teaching others how to do the same. Although he is a full stack developer, his recent focus has been on serverless microservice architecture. Working in Amazon’s culture of highly autonomous, 2-pizza teams for the last several years has provided experience that inspired his focus to form strong team cultures and offer mentoring to help teams avoid common pitfalls in software development. He maintains a public blog to share his thoughts and learnings with the wider software community. In his free time, he enjoys reading, being outdoors with his wife and two daughters, distance running, and more recently, playing ice hockey...badly. :-) Contact Information: Website: http://jlhood.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jlhcoder (@jlhcoder) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-hood-18178527/ Show Notes: Amazon Leadership Principals Setting the Technical Direction for Your Team
