Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClay Shentrup is a Senior Software Engineer II specializing in AI robotics mapping systems, with over 12 years of hands-on experience building full-stack and data-intensive systems largely within small startups. He blends deep Ruby on Rails expertise with Go and modern TypeScript/Node stacks, and currently contributes to LiDAR, localization, calibration, and mapping tooling at Cruise. A pragmatic advocate of Extreme Programming, TDD, pair programming, and aggressive refactoring, he repeatedly shapes team process to boost developer happiness and productivity. Clay has founded and led engineering teams, shipping a Rails-based IP commercialization platform and running a consultancy focused on Rails and Go. He’s comfortable navigating both legacy monoliths and big-data pipelines (Flume/Pig) and brings a rare mix of product-minded leadership and hands-on mentorship in design patterns. Based in Portland, he’s as likely to pair-program on a tricky refactor as he is to architect systems that reliably process large volumes of telemetry.
