Derek Janni is a Software Engineering Manager based in Portland, OR with 11 years of experience building Python-first backend systems, distributed ETL pipelines, and production-grade microservices. He has led engineering efforts at PowerFlex after several senior roles focused on cloud-native data processing and deployments using Kubernetes, ArgoCD/GitHub Actions, AWS (Lambda, Glue, Redshift) and PySpark. Derek combines hands-on coding with people leadership—designing deployment strategies and CI/CD while mentoring teams to ship resilient, high-throughput data solutions. He gravitates toward digitalization in tangible industries (energy, agriculture, transportation) and has practical experience delivering GIS and meteorological analytics using distributed task queues. Pragmatic and tooling-minded, he often evaluates multiple stack options to match use-case needs rather than defaulting to hype.
