Top SchoolJames Petersen is a Staff Software Engineer based in Colorado Springs with nine years' experience building secure, production-grade systems across cloud-native and embedded domains.

A hands-on tech lead who has driven DevSecOps initiatives and led teams to deliver streaming anomaly-detection and secure build infrastructure, he prefers solving cross-domain problems that touch product, security, and infrastructure.
