Derek M Frank

Software Engineer

Summary

{{ year | minus: professional_start }}+ years of professional experience as a software engineer. With significant startup experience, I have built and maintained modern SOA/microservices, cloud infrastructure, event-driven data pipelines (ETLs), RESTful APIs, impactful internal tools, and user-focused web applications. A proven leader, I have grown to head a small team with three direct reports.

Looking to find a mission-driven company trying to improve, push the boundaries of, and inspire human society with technology. Industries that would drive such passion include space exploration, artificial general intelligence (AGI), autonomous driving, autonomous learning, brain-computer interfacing, etc.

At a personal level, I am passionate of my work, excited about technology, always looking to take initiative, and hold myself to high standards. Never will I stop learning and growing. My outside interests include: training my dogs, lifting heavy weight, practicing Jiu-Jitsu, reading comics/manga, listening to audiobooks, snowboarding, venturing outdoors, and learning new things.
