Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Dehnel is a principal consultant and product architect with 12 years of hands-on software experience and two decades of involvement across the development lifecycle, known for blending deep technical craft with product-driven leadership. He has led a 30-person engineering team to build an AWS-hosted, Kubernetes-based microservice platform that handles tens of millions of requests monthly and supports multi-million-dollar recurring revenue. Comfortable toggling between roadmap conversations with executives and writing production code, he champions developer experience through reusable microservice frameworks, a custom internal dev portal, and GitLab-driven DevSecOps. His platform observability stack (Prometheus, Loki, Alloy, Faro, Grafana) and multi-account AWS Landing Zone work reflect a pragmatic focus on reliability, cost optimization, and security at scale. A former client-side project manager, he brings uncommon fluency in stakeholder communication and product prioritization, and his side projects on GitHub underscore a continual appetite for experimentation outside the day job.
