Summary
Sean Drumm is a cloud-native software engineer and advisor with 11 years’ experience building scalable, production-grade systems across startups and enterprises. He transitioned from front-end work into server-side and platform engineering, specializing in microservices, Kafka-based eventing, and data backends like Cassandra and Elasticsearch. Sean has led platform teams through successive leadership roles at MileIQ—culminating as VP of Engineering—and recently advises Rhino Studios, combining hands-on Go and TypeScript development with strong DevOps practices. He is fluent in Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD tooling, and equally comfortable across AWS, Azure, and GCP, enabling repeatable, reliable deployment pipelines. A pragmatic technologist, he favors observable, automated systems (Prometheus, Jaeger) and brings the perspective of a founding engineer who scales teams as well as systems.
