Denver, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Graf is a backend-focused software engineer with 13 years of professional experience and eight years specializing in Go, currently building observability and scaling solutions at Datadog. He blends rapid API and data-pipeline development with strong AWS expertise and a security-first mindset, having led zero-downtime refactors and designed secret stores in prior roles. At Twilio and Flatfile he drove multi-region, partitioned scaling strategies, mentored engineering guilds, and improved system observability and reusability across teams. Equally comfortable diving into hot-path performance optimizations or stepping across the stack (from infrastructure to React), he has a track record of turning complex, multi-year problems into incremental, production-safe improvements. Based in Denver, he pairs software craftsmanship with pragmatic leadership, often teaching practical patterns for testing, containerization, and secure architecture.
