Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Labombarda is an engineering lead in Chicago with 11 years of experience building data pipelines, backend services, and modern front-end applications using Python, Postgres, AWS, React, and TypeScript. He has transitioned repeatedly between data and web engineering—owning ETL frameworks, migrating workflows from Airflow to serverless Lambdas, and replatforming legacy mobile JavaScript apps to React/Node—bringing both systems-thinking and pragmatic delivery. Brett has led small teams, redesigned hiring and QA processes, and partnered closely with data scientists and product stakeholders to turn models into production-grade predictive pricing. Practical and detail-oriented, he also codifies developer workflows (SQL source control, testing for pipelines) to reduce deployment friction. Outside of work he signals a love of numbers and clarity—"Spreadsheets, not lies"—which reflects a preference for auditable, data-first solutions.
