Senior🎓
Top SchoolDex Amundsen is a Senior Software Engineer based in Seattle with eight years of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems across healthcare, real estate tech, logistics, and large enterprise firms. Currently at Verily, he focuses on systems-level optimizations that turn low-level efficiency gains into measurable macro-scale improvements. He has a track record of technical leadership and delivery from roles at Compass, Delhivery, Microsoft, and Cisco, bringing both hands-on coding and team-guiding experience. Dexter’s engineering ethos emphasizes bits-and-bytes efficiency—profiling, optimization, and robust backend architecture—to squeeze real-world value from systems. Trained with an MS from UCLA and an engineering degree from Visvesvaraya Technological University, he pairs strong academic foundations with practical production experience. Colleagues would note his uncommon attention to micro-optimizations that materially improve throughput and operational cost.
