Senior Software Engineer

Building software
that holds up

I’m John Schibelli, a Senior Software Engineer working across front-end and full-stack systems. I build, modernize, and extend software with a focus on clarity, reliability, and sound engineering decisions.

Good engineering is more than shipping features. It’s understanding what a system needs, what it can sustain, and where complexity is justified.

Selected Work

Real systems.
Real tradeoffs.

Engineering decisions, constraints, and implementation evidence from selected projects.

QUICK
FOODS.

A local-first retail operations application spanning scheduling, time tracking, purchasing, supplier invoices, and lottery reconciliation. Built around explicit business rules and manual POS data imports.

Ongoing development. Smart Ordering and complete workflow acceptance remain in progress.

INTRA
WEB.

A staff console built to make clients, projects, billing, and integration health visible. The portal owns operational state while n8n handles orchestration; HubSpot provisioning uses an idempotent lookup to avoid duplicate projects.

Staff-console evidence uses demonstration data. The system was not presented as a finished product.

PORTFOLIO
OS.

A monorepo separating site, dashboard, and documentation responsibilities while sharing engineering quality gates. Documentation is treated as an application with its own navigation, build, and delivery workflow.

Architecture and delivery-model evidence from the previous case study.
