Jeffrey Damick is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building and architecting large-scale cloud and DNS services, currently leading work on Route 53 Resolver at Amazon Web Services. He has a strong track record driving platform modernization and CI/CD across enterprises—previously shaping Capital One’s Tech Fellows program and contributing as a core developer to Hygieia, Capital One’s open-source DevOps dashboard. Jeffrey blends hands-on full-stack coding (UI fixes, backend collectors, auth fixes) with systems-level design for PaaS/SaaS and high-throughput services from his time at NeuStar and AOL. He brings deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, microservices, streaming data, and automation, and is comfortable moving between product-facing features and low-level platform plumbing. Based in Chantilly, Virginia, he holds an MS in Software Engineering from George Mason and a BS in Computer Science from Clarkson, combining academic rigor with practical delivery. A less obvious strength is his history of improving developer experience and testing/build pipelines, reflecting a consistent focus on team velocity as well as system reliability.
