Summary
Dan Lombardy is a Software Engineering Manager in Chicago with 11 years of experience leading teams to deliver scalable, customer-facing web and content-delivery platforms. He combines hands-on full‑stack expertise (React, Node, GraphQL, cloud CI/CD and infra-as-code) with a background in technical writing and university teaching, which he uses to make complex systems and documentation approachable. At Committee for Children he grew a remote team, shipped a major SELA product on time and budget, and led performance and testing improvements that halved response times and raised delivery velocity. A hands-on leader who still spends 30% of his time coding, he mentors engineers on maintainability, testing, and architecture while driving organizational process improvements. Outside work he’s obsessed with media and pedagogy—skills that inform his thoughtful approach to developer communication and user experience.
