Hi, I'm @drewhyatt,
Staff AI Engineer & Fractional CTO
I build full-stack systems that scale reliably with AI as the force multiplier — HITL, RAG, and agentic orchestration.
Work Experience
End-to-end ownership from architecture → delivery → production → scale, with a daily AI-native workflow (Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI) that delivers at 5× velocity.

2025 – Present
Co-Founder & Fractional CTO. Architecting the AI orchestration layer above the ledger: ingestion pipelines, matching engine, review queues, confidence scoring, and audit artifact generation—enabling bookkeeping teams to close faster without sacrificing accuracy. Leading technical strategy, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), CI/CD, and code quality. Directed SOC 2 Type 2 readiness end-to-end.
Senior Software Engineer
May 2021 – Sep 2024 · Fintech / Real Estate
- •Led a team of 3–5 engineers; mentored junior and mid-level engineers on payments architecture, testing standards, and microservices patterns
- •Owned payments and invoicing microservices using AWS, PHP, Python, TypeScript, and Terraform
- •Led design of a payments search engine; architected DynamoDB-backed system for high-volume transactions
- •Main contributor to tenant migration from legacy monolith; spearheaded frontend microservices with React and Single-Spa.js

Payment integrations
DynamoDB Search Engine
Designed and architected a DynamoDB-backed payments search engine for high-volume transaction queries — fast, scalable, and fault-tolerant.
- Single-table DynamoDB design with access-pattern-optimized GSIs
- Sub-100ms P99 query latency at production scale
- Eventual consistency model with strong-read fallback paths
- Lambda-backed stream processor for real-time index updates
- Comprehensive integration test suite covering all access patterns
Frontend Microservices
Led frontend microservices architecture using React and Single-Spa.js — enabling independent team deployments with a shared design system and zero page reloads.
- Single-Spa.js orchestrator with lazy-loaded micro-frontends
- Shared component library and design tokens across all MFEs
- Independent deployment pipelines per team with rollback capability
- Module federation for shared runtime dependencies
- Automated visual regression tests for cross-MFE changes
Lead Full Stack Engineer
Sep 2024 – Jun 2025 · Medical Supply Chain
Full-stack development of a medical supply-chain platform using GCP, TypeScript, Airflow, DBT, BigQuery, Postgres, and Python. Architected scalable microservices and data pipelines emphasizing fault tolerance and real-time analytics. Led LLM integration scoping and implementation for supply chain disruption identification and optimization.
"Drew brought immediate senior ownership — architecture decisions, LLM scoping, and data pipeline design all hit production-grade quality from day one."
Cicayda eDiscovery
Lead Developer
May 2017 – Dec 2021 · Legal-Tech
Designed and implemented a social media eDiscovery platform for multidistrict litigation. Modernized cloud infrastructure and reduced AWS compute spend by 30%. Led the engineering transition and security coordination during the company's acquisition. Partnered with legal stakeholders to enhance legal-hold and notification workflows.
30% AWS Cost Reduction
Rightsized EC2 fleets, migrated to Spot Instances for batch workloads, and implemented CloudWatch-driven auto-scaling — cutting monthly AWS compute spend by 30% without degrading SLA.
"Drew led the engineering org through our acquisition with composure and precision — keeping velocity high while coordinating security reviews across two companies."

AI-Native Engineer
Daily Workflow · 5× VelocityI operate daily with Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI — not as tools but as an orchestration system. The problems I solve (context management, agentic pipelines, LLMOps) are the same ones I ship into production for clients.
- ›Cursor + Claude Code + Gemini CLI running in parallel — each with specialized context and tasks
- ›Built and deployed production AI/LLM integrations: supply chain at Peer Supply, finance automation at Omniga.ai
- ›LLMOps: Langfuse observability, custom evals, closed-loop error → test generation on this portfolio
- ›Full-spectrum: Figma → design systems → React → backend → cloud infra — concept to production, solo or in teams
