Top SchoolDuane King is a Principal Software Development Engineer with 25+ years of hands-on experience stabilizing high-risk platforms, modernizing legacy systems, and building production-grade CI/CD and cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. He is brought in when systems are fragile or scaling rapidly, and has a track record of reducing vulnerability surfaces by up to 90%, boosting data processing efficiency by 85%, and raising automated test coverage from zero to 85%. A polyglot engineer and practical leader, he codes in the trenches while aligning technical priorities with business goals, having worked across C++, C#, Go, Python, Ruby, and more in both startups and major firms like Microsoft and Amazon. Duane combines security-first thinking and compliance experience with pragmatic infrastructure work—he’s designed private CAs, hardened release pipelines, and enabled automated browser updates for Chromium-based products. He contributes to open-source projects that celebrate language diversity (adding cross-language examples to popular repos) and prefers roles focused on platform reliability, risk reduction, and long-term maintainability. Based in Seattle, he blends technical depth with an approachable, mission-driven ethic: cultivate, defend, and do no harm.
