Senior🎓
Top SchoolClarke Vandenhoven is a software engineer with nine years of experience building reliable full-stack systems, currently at Zoox after founding the engineering team at Serial where he developed manufacturing traceability solutions. He has strong hands-on experience in data and vehicle software from multiple roles at Tesla, including reducing test-reporting time by 90% and automating processes that saved substantial engineering time and costs. Comfortable across Python, Ruby, and Swift toolchains, Clarke has repeatedly delivered automation, CI, and integration work that turns manual workflows into production-ready systems. Based in San Francisco with a BASc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, he combines an experimental, data-driven mindset with startup grit and an interest in solving hard problems alongside hard-working teams. A detail that often surprises colleagues: his background in materials and micro-circuitry research informs a pragmatic approach to hardware-adjacent software challenges.
