Drea Leed is a Senior Architect at LexisNexis Risk Solutions with over two decades of hands-on software engineering experience and more than a decade focused on big data and cloud migrations. She designs cloud-compatible APIs and high-throughput, massively parallel data processing solutions—leveraging deep expertise in Java, ECL/HPCC, Azure, and CI/CD DevOps—to move petabyte-scale analytics workloads to the cloud. Her background spans front-to-back development across Java, .NET, C++, and scripting languages, and she’s comfortable making pragmatic architecture choices informed by broad cross-platform experience. At LexisNexis she has led R&D and production integrations for government and enterprise customers, applying fuzzy matching, NLP, and entity resolution at scale (work tied to TS/SCI-cleared projects). Colleagues rely on her for both hands-on coding and technical leadership during cloud transformation efforts. Based in Springfield, Ohio, she pairs systems-level thinking with low-level performance tuning rooted in years of Unix cluster administration.
