Drake Main is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building reliable embedded and cloud systems, currently developing flight software at Boeing. His background spans low-level C and Rust for avionics and propulsion control, high-throughput backend work at AWS CloudWatch Logs, and end-to-end automation products he shipped as founder of a modular greenhouse startup. He’s comfortable debugging across software and hardware boundaries—using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and vacuum-chamber testing—to solve thorny integration problems that few engineers see. Drake combines production-grade security and reliability practices from large-scale AWS services with a maker’s instinct for prototypes and productization. Based in Seattle, he brings practical cross-disciplinary experience that bridges lab prototyping and mission-critical flight systems.
