Co-leading Draftech International since 2018 — building the operational foundation and engineering teams that support 600+ engineers across 22 states.
Oversees all operational aspects of Draftech — staffing, project resourcing, engineering workflow, and client delivery across multi-state fiber programs.
Built the recruiting and retention systems that scaled Draftech from a startup to 600+ engineers. Focuses on finding, training, and developing OSP engineering talent at scale.
Led Draftech's 2024 Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification effort — opening doors on BEAD programs, state-funded builds, and supplier diversity requirements.
Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE)
Co-founded Draftech International in 2018. Has scaled engineering teams from startup through 600+ engineers, supporting FTTH design, pole loading analysis, permitting, and as-built documentation programs nationwide.
Manages operations for OSP engineering services delivered across 22 states — from regional ISP buildouts to large-scale BEAD-funded fiber deployments and Tier-1 carrier programs.
Ensures client experience from kickoff through delivery stays consistent at scale. Responsible for the process and people structures that turn first projects into long-term engineering partnerships.
Devin's writing draws from the operational realities of scaling engineering teams — from hiring and team structure to program management and MBE certification in federal fiber programs.
