Senior🎓
Top SchoolTerry Drever is a product-minded Senior Software Development Engineer with 15 years of experience building scalable services, systems, and game tools across startups and large enterprises. Currently at AWS he leads engineering across eight teams for a core release orchestration platform, driving a shift from tactical execution to data-driven strategy while cutting hundreds of thousands in costs and improving high-risk pipeline release velocity by 55%. A former founder, Terry shipped middleware used by 10,000+ developers and licensed to Microsoft, EA, and Disney, and earlier contributed CI/CD, cinematic pipelines, and console ports for award-winning games like Ori. He stays deeply hands-on — his prototypes frequently become the seeds for larger systems — and pairs debugging rigor with mentorship that has advanced numerous engineers’ careers. Comfortable spanning the full AWS stack and game-engine tooling, Terry thrives in fast, high-ownership environments where measurable product impact matters more than titles. An interesting throughline: he combines solo-founder grit with enterprise-scale orchestration expertise, uniquely bridging game development speed with cloud-grade safety and compliance.
