Justin Patrick is a Principal Software Engineer based in the Greater Seattle Area with six years of formal experience and a long tenure of progressive engineering and leadership roles at Microsoft focused on distributed, real-time, and serverless systems. He has led the Cosmos DB Security team and moved between principal engineering and architect roles, blending hands-on delivery with technical strategy for large-scale cloud data services. Trained in real-time interactive simulation (DigiPen) and recently deepening security expertise with a Master's in Cybersecurity from UC Berkeley School of Information, he brings a rare mix of systems, security, and performance-first thinking. A committed growth-minded leader, Justin mentors engineers and prioritizes team development while driving secure, reliable production systems. He’s comfortable spanning full-stack implementation to architecture, especially where low-latency and security intersect. An engineer who started in SDET roles and progressed into principal-level ownership, he combines rigorous testing discipline with product-grade engineering at scale.
