Chet Lemon is a Senior Software Engineer based in Seattle with 11 years of experience building data and backend systems for robotics and infrastructure-focused companies. He has led design and rollout of Python DAG-based data pipelines and Golang gRPC microservice monorepos, driving organization-wide adoption and slashing ML pipeline runtimes by up to 95%. At Shield AI he replaced legacy tooling, introduced the company’s first CI/CD, built Kubernetes job utilities still in use today, and mentored new engineers while serving as scrum master. Now at HashiCorp, he brings pragmatic cloud-native and distributed-systems expertise to infrastructure software.
