Drew Johnson is a Staff Software Engineer and team lead with nine years of experience building scalable full-stack, cloud-native, and big data systems for startups and Fortune 100 companies. He has led teams of up to eight engineers through product lifecycles at a high-growth cybersecurity unicorn and delivered SaaS platforms using React micro-frontends, AWS serverless architectures, and event-driven microservices. Drew designed a high-throughput ETL capable of processing 25 billion records per hour and pioneered LLM integrations that convert natural language into platform queries, directly contributing to meaningful ARR growth. He pairs hands-on implementation skills in TypeScript, Node, Scala/Spark, and Databricks with operational experience migrating on-premises data pipelines to AWS. Known for shipping pragmatic solutions that replace legacy systems—such as modernizing tax-exemption and ERP workflows—he’s a lifelong builder who still maintains the production tools he creates. Based in Cincinnati, he brings a practical blend of product-minded engineering and deep data infrastructure expertise.
