Senior🎓
Top SchoolPreston Zaugg is a Director of Software Architecture with 12 years of industry experience and a decade-plus focus on designing cloud-native, event-driven systems for the healthcare and insurance sectors. At WTW he defines future-state architectures for the Individual Marketplace, guiding microservices, micro-UI, API and event designs while driving Azure cloud migrations, Terraform IaC, and GitHub Actions CI/CD standards. He combines hands-on implementation—designing APIs, events, UIs, and IaC—with people leadership through mentoring, curriculum and career-path development for architecture and engineering teams. Prior roles include building high-throughput medical coding platforms and clinical drug databases, demonstrating a strong track record of taking complex domain systems into production. Based in the Salt Lake City area, he blends pragmatic engineering with governance-minded architecture, often surfacing practical migration and database strategies that reduce operational risk. He’s equally comfortable in code and strategy—translating large-scale architectural visions into templates, standards, and repeatable delivery patterns.
