Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Locks is a Lead Software Engineer in Chicago with 15 years of experience automating manual processes and simplifying both user and developer workflows. He has driven faster, more reliable deployments across Java Spring Boot, Python/Flask, Vue.js, Docker/Kubernetes and AWS, cutting rollouts from months to weeks and lowering required operational knowledge. His background spans systems administration, build and packaging automation across multiple OSes, and tooling integrations for GitLab, JIRA and Confluence—skills honed from roles at HERE Technologies, Zmanda, and the American Medical Association. A pragmatic engineer who values readable, maintainable code, Dan combines infrastructure-first thinking with a user-centered approach to reduce friction and repetitive toil. One less obvious strength: his early work managing diverse legacy platforms taught him to design automation that respects real-world constraints and heterogeneous environments.
