Joel M. Cossins is a Lead Full-Stack Software Developer with over a decade of experience delivering mission-critical solutions for the U.S. Army and energy trading operations. At BigBear.ai (2015–2025), he led the design and implementation of secure, customer-specific modules for the Army’s AST platform, synchronizing units, training centers, and installations using Angular, .NET Core, and advanced MS SQL architectures. He architected reusable reporting services with Telerik Kendo, Syncfusion, EPPlus, and Dundas, enabling data-driven decisions for senior leaders.
Previously at DTE Energy Trading, Joel built trader-focused tools—including real-time gas utilization dashboards, NYMEX futures analytics, and automated data pipelines—that saved hours daily through web scraping, email parsing, and database persistence. He established an internal NuGet server to streamline .NET dependency management across applications.
With roots in network engineering (MCI WorldCom, USAF), Joel brings a rare blend of full-stack development, infrastructure expertise, and operational efficiency. Proficient in C#, TypeScript, and SQL, he thrives in Agile environments using Jira and Confluence. He has experience with PHP, Python, Java, and VB, and is currently learning and implementing Nuxt/Vue in a personal project.
