Senior🎓
Top SchoolRex Petersen is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of hands-on experience delivering full‑stack, cloud-native systems across consumer and enterprise domains. He builds secure, scalable orchestration and authentication services (currently for Disney Streaming) and has deep experience with AWS serverless patterns, CDK/CDKTF, GraphQL meshes, and event-driven ETL pipelines. Rex has driven product-impacting features end-to-end— from MyDelivery and MyMedly patient apps to Home Depot’s multimillion-dollar delivery/installation flows—while also owning deployment pipelines and reliability improvements. A passionate mentor and lifelong learner, he pairs pragmatic engineering with observability and security (OKTA, Vault) to keep platforms maintainable at scale. Not obvious from titles: he blends front-end TypeScript/React work with backend infrastructure design, giving him a rare full-stack-to-cloud perspective.
