Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrake Seifert is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience building cloud-native, test-driven systems using C#/.NET, Angular, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes. He has delivered high-impact projects at Microsoft and Thermo Fisher—reducing database latency by over 50%, enabling zero-downtime blue/green deployments, and adding low-latency event paths with Kafka for hardware control. Equally comfortable in application code and infrastructure, he has led company-wide CI/CD and IaC improvements, converting legacy pipelines to YAML and embedding security and quality gates into delivery. Drake is a vocal advocate for robust testing, technical debt management, and developer tooling, and he thrives on teams that push for measurable quality and performance gains. Based in Los Angeles, he balances hands-on engineering with mentorship and a continuous-learning mindset, often pushing teammates toward better practices while seeking the same feedback himself. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he blends UI work (Angular/React) and low-level hardware integration experience, enabling him to bridge product UX to reliable backend and device interactions.
