Tony Sappé is a Senior Lead Technologist based in Colorado Springs with 16+ years of hands-on engineering experience and nine years in leadership roles, specializing in scalable data platforms, cloud modernization, and mission-critical systems for federal and defense clients. He has led cross-functional teams at Booz Allen to modernize data pipelines and APIs for agencies like NASA, Space Force, IRS, and USAspending.gov—where he was the top backend contributor driving a high-performance Django/Python API that democratized federal spending data. Comfortable moving between strategy and code, Tony architects microservices in Python/Java/Go, automates resilient CI/CD and DevOps workflows, and prototypes containerized solutions that accelerate scientific research and ETL at scale. His background in electrical engineering and early field work on SCADA/PLC systems gives him uncommon depth in low-level systems and operational reliability, which he couples with mentoring and reusable ML/data patterns to amplify team impact.
