Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrew Wetherington is a multidisciplinary software engineer and game developer with 12 years of experience building scalable systems, tooling, and simulation pipelines. He has led engineering initiatives from a CTO role at a fintech startup to founding internal tooling teams that unlocked product and business visibility, including delivering a horizontally scaled simulation pipeline for a $30M valuation project. Drew’s pragmatic optimizations have delivered dramatic impact—one image-processing improvement produced a 75X speedup and slashed intermediate disk usage by five orders of magnitude, enabling real-time features and major cost savings. Now at Side Quest Studios he applies that systems-level thinking to game development, blending backend, infrastructure, and product-focused engineering. Based in Prairie Village, Kansas, he pairs academic training in computer science and biology with hands-on experience deploying Kubernetes and large-scale batch systems, often serving as the technical liaison in client engagements.
