Drew Yang is a DevOps engineer with eight years of experience building automated, production-grade infrastructure and CI/CD for SaaS and research platforms. He has designed and managed AWS environments with Terraform and boto3, provisioned Kubernetes clusters, and implemented reproducible ephemeral compute for CPU/GPU workloads, helping DataJoint support neuroscience labs and scientific workflows at scale. Drew bridges software development and operations—developing pipelines, developer portals, and onboarding APIs while integrating observability (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, CloudWatch) and reproducible dev containers for open-source collaboration. His background includes hands-on ML ops, Airflow, MLflow, and full-stack web work, giving him practical insight into ML lifecycle and researcher needs. Based in Houston with a MS in Computer Science, he favors reducing manual toil through automation and developer-friendly tooling—a pattern evident across both commercial and open-source projects.
