Jim Young
Husband, Dad, Engineering leader, Developer, Youth sports coach
I’m a seasoned engineering leader with over 15 years of experience delivering scalable, enterprise-grade digital solutions. I specialize in Drupal architecture, platform integrations, and building CMS ecosystems that balance performance, flexibility, and maintainability. My work spans Fortune 5 brands and mission-driven organizations, where I’ve led cross-functional teams, shaped digital strategy, and executed web initiatives that actually move the needle.
My leadership style is rooted in transparency, empathy, and accountability. I create environments where developers feel ownership, teams stay aligned, and outcomes exceed expectations. I thrive at the intersection of code, people, and process, whether I’m debugging production issues, mentoring a junior engineer, or translating complex requirements into actionable platform roadmaps.
Outside of work, I’m a proud husband and dad to a sports-obsessed 9-year-old. I coach youth basketball, football, and baseball year-round (I retired from soccer because, honestly, the kids are already better than me). Coaching keeps me sharp, it reinforces clear communication, adaptability, and a “process over results” mindset. It’s not unlike leading a dev team… just with more snacks.
When I’m not coding or coaching, you’ll probably find me quoting movie lines no one remembers, catching stand-up comedy sets, or rooting for the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles, NBA Champion Boston Celtics, and the “keep me humble” Boston Red Sox. I’m driven by logic, curiosity, pragmatism, and an enjoyment of helping people succeed. Whatever the challenge, platform, project, or playoffs, I’m always thinking a few steps ahead.
