Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Faulkner is a pragmatic full-stack software and former carrier network engineer with 10 years of experience building Python back-end APIs, React/Redux front-ends, and production ETL pipelines. He has led and mentored teams, built reusable Airflow DAG frameworks that convert JSON configs into deployable workflows, and implemented infrastructure as code with Terraform across AWS and self-hosted environments. His background migrating carrier Ethernet and ATM networks at scale gives him a strong automation and reliability mindset—he routinely converts manual, error-prone processes into auditable, automated systems. Interested in security and IoT, he prefers doing clever practical engineering over flashy complexity and brings hands-on experience from network operations through backend data systems.
