Summary
Dusty Hoppe is a Senior Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building distributed systems and microservice architectures primarily in the Microsoft stack. He has repeatedly operated at the intersection of hands‑on engineering and technical leadership, driving migrations to infrastructure-as-code, building CI/CD pipelines, and launching international features at scale. Dusty has held senior roles across startups and enterprises—including multiple stints at DraftKings, PayPal, and founding engineering work at AirClub—demonstrating an ability to design resilient systems under high traffic and regulatory constraints. He’s skilled in .NET, AWS, Terraform, and observability tooling, and has a track record of turning architecture and hiring plans into investor-ready roadmaps. Based in Salem, Oregon, he pairs pragmatic delivery with a history of solving brittle operational problems (for example, implementing redundant geolocation for peak NFL traffic) that keep products live when dependencies fail.
