Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Schaefer is a senior software developer and engineering lead with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, DevOps-driven systems and microservices. Based in Akron, Ohio, he has led platform and SDLC standardization efforts at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, shaping onboarding, CI/CD, and AWS proofs-of-concept for a major modernization initiative. He blends deep practical skills in Python, PHP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, and RDBMS with a strong operational mindset honed running on-call services and building repeatable infrastructure. Dan is as comfortable writing code as he is interviewing, mentoring, and defining tooling choices, and he has a track record of introducing gRPC microservices into legacy stacks and automating full deployment pipelines. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he combines developer-first documentation and onboarding artifacts with architecture-level input, ensuring teams can move fast without losing governance.
