Johnathan Radojevich
Senior Software Engineer · Enterprise AI & Distributed Systems
Senior Software Engineer with a track record of delivering enterprise AI systems, event-driven distributed architectures, and cloud-native data pipelines at scale. Four graduate degrees spanning computer science, computational climate modeling, spatial data science, and applied meteorology — converging on the problem of translating physical-world risk into software decision-makers can trust. AWS-certified. Passionate about agentic systems, retrieval-augmented generation, and making complexity legible.
Experience
2025 — present
Senior Software Engineer
Allstate · Chicago, IL
- Architecting enterprise agentic AI systems on AWS Bedrock; multi-step reasoning, tool calling, structured output schemas, and offline eval harnesses.
- Building RAG pipelines over structured and unstructured insurance data; embedding selection, retrieval tuning, and hallucination guardrails.
- Leading cloud-native platform improvements — Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, SQS — targeting 99.9% SLO across event-driven risk-scoring workflows.
- Collaborating cross-functionally with actuarial and data science teams to translate model outputs into production decision APIs.
2024 — 2025
Senior Software Engineer
Northwestern Mutual · Milwaukee, WI (remote)
- Owned high-throughput distributed services processing millions of financial events daily; reduced p99 latency by 34% via stream repartitioning and backpressure tuning.
- Designed resilience patterns (circuit breakers, bulkhead isolation, idempotent consumers) across a Kafka-centric event mesh.
- Mentored two mid-level engineers through architecture design reviews and production incident retrospectives.
2022 — 2024
Software Engineer
Terracon · Lenexa, KS (hybrid)
- Executed strangler-fig migration from a 15-year-old monolith: defined anti-corruption layers, traffic-shaping policies, and a feature-flag framework enabling zero-downtime cutover.
- Established CI/CD pipelines with automated quality gates; reduced deploy cycle time from 3 days to same-day.
- Led DevOps maturity initiative: IaC with Terraform, secrets management, and drift detection.
2023
Software Engineer
Johnson Controls · Milwaukee, WI (contract)
- Built IoT telemetry ingestion pipelines for smart-building sensor fleets; edge-to-cloud data normalization and anomaly flagging.
- Integrated MQTT broker with cloud time-series store; reduced telemetry backlog latency from minutes to sub-10-second.
2021 — 2022
Associate Software Engineer
Uline · Pleasant Prairie, WI
- Maintained and extended core enterprise Java backend services supporting high-volume e-commerce and logistics operations.
- Optimized critical SQL queries and stored procedures; largest win reduced a nightly batch job from 4.2 h to 38 min.
- Expanded automated test coverage from 41% to 78% across assigned service domains.
