Summary
Eric Trexel is a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building secure, scalable systems spanning hardware, embedded firmware, cloud data pipelines, and distributed services. Currently at Microsoft he leads Azure Kubernetes Service infrastructure in airgapped clouds and designed data pipelines that process billions of records per month while managing services for sensitive user data. He has a strong background in trusted computing and applied ML—shipping verified-boot firmware, TPM-wrapped key management, and ARM TrustZone implementations for continuous multifactor authentication. As a principal engineer at his own company he delivered an end-to-end Azure and BLE-based vehicle mileage tracking solution that combined mobile, cloud, and hardware integration. Known for bridging cross-team collaboration with hands-on engineering, he often pairs low-level debugging (LPDDR4 controller work with Intel) with large-scale cloud architecture. Based in Seattle, he combines academic teaching experience with a pragmatic focus on solutions that impact real people.
