Summary
Aaron Lee is a founding engineer and SRE with nine years of experience building reliable backend systems, infrastructure automation, and real-time video and sensor pipelines across industries from autonomous vehicles to media and satellite imagery. He prefers Rust and has shipped production services in Go, Elixir, Python, and Typescript—often tackling low-level integrations (bindgen, tokio, gstreamer) to bridge C SDKs with modern async stacks. Aaron has driven reliability at scale for high-stakes systems (The New York Times identity services during the 2020 US election) and built petabyte-scale storage and data-migration tools at Planet Labs. Now at Trak he’s applying that mix of embedded-systems empathy and cloud-native engineering to unify ADAS calibration and diagnostics. Based in New Orleans, he pairs academic training (Tulane BS, UCSD MS) with a pragmatic, test-first approach and a knack for turning legacy or undocumented systems into maintainable, automatable platforms.
