Java + Spring Developer
Backend-focused engineer who embraces SOLID, SOA, and simplicity.
About Me
Hi, my name is Taylor White. I am a Java developer specializing in Spring and Spring Boot, with a primary focus on backend web development. I design and build applications guided by established engineering principles, including SOLID (Single Responsibility, Open–Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and the KISS principle (Keep It Simple). My approach emphasizes clean architecture, maintainable code, and scalable system design. I am passionate about building thoughtful, well-structured software and enjoy tackling logic-based challenges that require careful analysis and problem-solving. Outside of development, I enjoy fencing, board games, and 3D printing. This website serves as a portfolio of my ongoing and completed projects. It is intended to provide prospective employers and other interested visitors with insight into my work and technical interests. The site will be updated periodically as I develop new software and continue expanding my skill set. Please feel free to explore and reach out if you have any questions.

It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Taylor White for software engineer. Mr. White took the class I taught on Entrepreneurship and Technology. He was by far one of my favorite student, consistently showing a mastery of the material and is a creative and intelligent student that was not afraid to speak his mind. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Mr. White, and came to know him as a true asset to my class. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressive student who is always challenging others. I have had only a few students that after their time in class have come back for the lectures and class participation. Mr. White was one of those students. I believe going to a class without getting credit shows a real desire for knowledge as a lifelong learner. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Mr. White to join any team. As a dedicated and knowledgeable employee and an all-around great person, I know that he will be a beneficial addition to your organization. Please feel free to contact me, Christopher Elmore, celmore@avidxchange.com should you like to discuss Mr. White’s qualifications and experience further. I’d be happy to expand on my recommendation.

It is my pleasure to recommend Taylor White for the position he is applying for with your company. I am Director of Collections for PayTomorrow. PayTomorrow is a consumer finance company and I hired Taylor two years ago to join our team. Taylor met one of our owners while working his last job as a sales rep. Our partner was so impressed with Taylor, that he convinced him to come for an interview with us. We hired Taylor and he has been an important part of the team since. Taylor has consistently exceeded expectations and last year collected just over 200K on accounts that were defaulting. We have also used Taylor’s background to help our repossession department. Taylor would inspect and repair all returned computers and prepare them for resale, including setting the recommended price. Taylor has been a great member of our team and we are sorry to see him go. He has been very open about his plans to utilize his degree in an IT capacity and the time has come to explore those options. Taylor takes direction well and is a quick learn. I am sure he will be a great addition to any team he joins.
