# Shannon Talarico > Senior Software Engineer | Java & Spring Boot | AWS Cloud | Microservices & Distributed Systems | API Engineering | Logistics & eCommerce Platforms Location: Greater Scranton Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shannontalarico I’m a Senior Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native Java systems, microservices, and distributed architectures. I build scalable backend platforms, design reliable APIs, and solve complex data and integration challenges across logistics, e-Commerce, and enterprise environments. My background includes delivering high-volume systems used by thousands of customers, leading technical initiatives as a Team Lead and Certified Scrum Master (CSM), and mentoring developers to elevate engineering quality and consistency. I’ve worked on platforms aligned with major commerce ecosystems—including technology at ChannelApe, a startup acquired by Shopify. I enjoy roles where backend engineering, architecture, and cross-functional collaboration come together: • designing microservices and distributed workflows • improving observability, reliability, and performance • partnering closely with product, design, and DevOps • simplifying complex integrations and system interactions While my recent work centers on logistics, fulfillment, and eCommerce systems, I’m actively exploring opportunities in AI-enabled products and other emerging domains where I can apply strong backend, cloud, and systems engineering expertise to new problem spaces. If you’re looking for someone who owns projects end-to-end, improves engineering processes, and delivers scalable software that businesses can rely on, I’d love to connect. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ ColdTrack (fka NutriFresh) Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 Developed cloud-native Java/Spring Boot microservices and AWS-based systems that improved logistics operations, data visibility, and multi-warehouse fulfillment intelligence. • Designed and maintained Dockerized backend services on AWS EC2, improving scalability, reliability, and operational performance for high-volume fulfillment workflows. • Developed Java/Spring Boot microservices supporting OMS and WMS integrations, enhancing data flow consistency across warehouse systems. • Utilized the internal QQQ framework to standardize architecture, accelerate feature delivery, and improve collaboration across engineering teams. • Contributed to analytical dashboards and operational insights, enabling leadership and operations teams to make faster, more informed decisions based on real-time logistics data. • Delivered integrations for billing, invoicing, routing, and parcel tracking (EasyPost), strengthening ColdTrack’s end-to-end fulfillment capabilities. • Improved system observability and reliability through enhanced monitoring, logging, and event-driven workflows. ### Senior Software Engineer @ American Tire Distributors Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Huntersville, NC Modernized ATD’s enterprise B2B commerce platform by building Java/Spring microservices, Hybris APIs, and Angular features used by over 80K customers. • Modernized the Tire Pros Online platform used by 80K+ customers • Built Java/Spring/Hibernate microservices and SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) APIs • Delivered Angular/TypeScript features using Figma prototypes and Jira workflows • Developed UI components with Angular Material, Node.js, and SAP Spartacus • Improved search performance via Solr indexing across 115+ distribution centers • Participated in code reviews and supported clean architecture standards ### Software Engineer @ ChannelApe Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York, United States ChannelApe was acquired by Shopify in 2024.
