Hi, I’m Derrick Crawford. I’m a Lead Software Engineer and Technical Lead with 13+ years of experience designing, integrating, and deploying high-reliability software systems that support mission-critical decision-making, analytics, and command-and-control workflows. I thrive on building scalable Java and Python services, Linux-based environments, and containerized architectures (Docker, Kubernetes). I enjoy turning research concepts into robust, maintainable, production-grade platforms and designing well-documented APIs and integration layers. I’m adept at collaborating with scientists, engineers, and stakeholders to translate advanced algorithms into user-facing systems. I lead multi-disciplinary teams, establish engineering best practices, and guide projects from prototyping to operational readiness, including work in national security, mission planning, and decision-support domains.…Hi, I’m Derrick Crawford.
