Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrew Thomson is a Full Stack Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining web and systems software, currently contributing at NASA Ames Research Center from his base in Morgan Hill, California. He brings deep Unix/Linux and backend expertise—Perl, PHP, Java, C, MySQL—paired with front-end skills in HTML, CSS and jQuery, and a history of shipping practical tools that streamline operations. Drew’s background spans high-scale billing systems, internal web services, and diagnostic tooling—he once built a Perl diagnostic collector and later exposed diagnostics via a Node.js/Socket.io frontend—showing a knack for turning ops pain points into reliable developer-facing products. Early roles administering hundreds of servers and automating setups at SGI give him uncommon infrastructure empathy for full stack work. Colleagues rely on him to bridge legacy codebases and modern practices, refactoring monolithic apps into MVC/OOP designs and optimizing SQL for large datasets.
