Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Pavao is a software architect with 11 years of experience designing and delivering scalable web and cloud-native systems from Rhode Island. He currently leads architecture at Aura after progressing through senior engineering and UI leadership roles where he built microservices on Node.js, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB and Terraform and led an eight-person UI team. Derek blends front-end expertise—Angular, NgRx, RxJS, React/Redux—with back-end serverless and GCP integrations, having helped build a no-code app-generation platform and an identity-protection microservices ecosystem. He’s comfortable owning both product-facing UI architecture (including i18n and complex state management) and the infrastructure that powers it. Known for pragmatic technical leadership, he moves teams from legacy stacks to modern, testable architectures while still writing production-ready code. An interesting through-line is his background in multimedia and web design, which gives him a strong design-minded approach to engineering decisions.
