Top SchoolMichael Saavedra is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience building and leading backend systems, currently contributing at Myriad Genetics from Long Beach, CA. He brings deep expertise in Python and Django, designing high-throughput distributed tasks and storage pipelines that have handled multi-petabyte archives and sustained tens of terabytes per day. As a former lead at Premiere Digital Services, he scaled teams and processes—establishing code quality standards, git workflows, and cross-team API and microservice architecture for a 30+ developer organization.
