Danny Faught is a pragmatic software developer with 11 years of professional experience and deep roots in testing, TDD, and lean engineering practices. He has moved between startups and large enterprises—shaping CI/CD, cloud migrations to Docker/Kubernetes, and identity/access systems for CloudFoundry and VMware Tanzu. Danny contributed to the widely used CloudFoundry UAA project, driving migrations and refactors that improved migration tooling and reduced reliance on static methods. He combines hands-on engineering with coaching experience, having led squads, trained teams in better testing practices, and guided organizations toward automated deployment. Based in Port Orchard, WA, he balances technical work with people-first collaboration and prefers introductions via conversation rather than cold LinkedIn invites. An occasional school bus driver, he brings patience, reliability, and a practical mindset to complex engineering problems.
