Top SchoolPC Drew is a Staff Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building and operating large-scale, cloud-native distributed systems, specializing in traffic engineering, service mesh, and resilient infrastructure.

He founded and scaled a profitable SaaS platform to ~$1M ARR and has deep networking roots from early work at Level 3 and Selero, including protocol dissectors and high-availability financial interexchange systems. Equally comfortable shipping TypeScript/Scala/React and driving cross-functional programs, he leverages telemetry for automated canary analysis and self-healing traffic strategies.
