Summary
Douglas Letz is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience building cloud-native, high-performance systems across .NET, Python, Go, and modern JavaScript frameworks. He specializes in automating complex infrastructure and delivery pipelines—transforming legacy .NET stacks to .NET Core/.NET 6/7, and reducing configuration and deployment effort by large margins using Terraform, ARM, and CloudFormation. Equally comfortable in Azure, AWS, and GCP, he architects microservices, serverless functions, and Kubernetes deployments while optimizing APIs, ETL, and geospatial analytics for real-time use cases. Douglas has delivered measurable improvements—40% runtime gains, 55% frontend load reductions, and 95% test coverage on critical paths—often for mission-critical systems like drone detection and large-scale education platforms. A DevOps polymath who jokes that if it ends with “Ops” he’s mastered it, he pairs deep automation skills with pragmatic security and observability practices to keep systems resilient and compliant. Based in Houston, he brings a blend of hands-on engineering and cross-functional leadership that accelerates delivery without sacrificing reliability.
