Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Hodson is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience building large-scale distributed cloud systems, currently working on Databricks' Serverless DBR Compute Platform. He previously led a geo-distributed team at Microsoft to design and prototype a tenant backup and recovery system, authoring end-to-end designs, threat models, and Kubernetes orchestrators for robust, asynchronous recoveries. His work on Cross-Tenant Access Policy and batch queuing infrastructure migrated millions of tenants and simplified large-scale data operations with zero customer disruption. Comfortable across the stack, he blends system architecture, cost/privacy analysis, and hands-on engineering—often translating customer feedback directly into product features. He mentors engineers and fosters inclusive team culture through practical rituals like “Ask Me Anything” and recovery-focused exercises. Based in Redmond with a Computer Engineering degree from the University of Florida, he prefers email for quick contact.
