Top SchoolDrew Sessler is a Seattle-based software engineer with 8 years of experience building cloud-native systems and operator-driven platforms using Go, Ruby, JavaScript, React, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. He has driven production features and reliability for Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes—adding HA, multi-namespace support, disaster-recovery snapshots, and a controller for managed service provisioning—while owning releases, CI, testing, and user-facing documentation. As co-creator of Sentinel PaaS he designed a cloud-agnostic, canary-capable control plane and multi-tenant runtime, blending Terraform/Ansible automation with Docker Swarm and Traefik-based traffic control. Drew moves fluidly between developer tooling, operators, and platform-level observability, and has a track record of simplifying integration tests and enabling GitOps workflows for database tooling. He holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech and pairs systems-level rigor with a product-minded focus on operability and customer support.
