Dave Caraway is a principal software engineering leader with 11+ years of experience building cloud-native, security-focused products for government and enterprise customers. He currently leads teams on Azure SQL and previously ran Azure Customer Support Experience, bringing deep operational and SRE sensibilities to data platform engineering. His background spans startups and large defense and federal programs—from founding FogMine and directing engineering at Tenet3 to shaping Data.gov as a Presidential Innovation Fellow—so he blends product delivery, cloud architecture, and public-sector domain knowledge. Technically fluent across Python, Go, C++, Ruby, and modern containerized deployments, he pairs hands-on coding with people-first management. An Air Force alum and MS/BS graduate with near-perfect GPAs, he’s also an Access to Justice technologist and armchair economist who consistently translates complex requirements into auditable, mission-ready systems.
