Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Young is a pragmatic software engineer based in Kansas City with eight years of hands-on experience building and operating full-stack systems. Since graduating from the University of Kansas full-stack bootcamp in 2018 he’s focused on cloud-native tooling—Docker, Kubernetes, AWS (S3/RDS/Lambda)—and maintaining resilient APIs backed by Apollo-federated GraphQL. He enjoys shipping JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js solutions, automating UI tests with Cypress and Datadog Synthetics, and gluing systems together with Bash (and a risky-but-useful dose of Python). Comfortable diving into unfamiliar codebases, he learns by doing and quickly turns ambiguity into working, testable features. Currently contributing at LODAS Markets, he brings a practical blend of infrastructure, automation, and API design to production systems.
