Top SchoolDillon Shook is a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building user-focused, production-scale systems across industries from fusion energy to agriculture and media. He combines a pragmatic full‑stack toolbox (TypeScript, C#, React/Svelte, Postgres, Docker) with a willingness to learn new technologies to solve real-world problems, notably implementing RAG-powered search at Pryon and large interactive sports visualizations at Comcast. As Principal Engineer at Indigo and current Sr. Engineer at Commonwealth Fusion Systems, he’s delivered software that reaches millions while also improving developer and ops workflows—evidenced by contributions to the popular CapRover project adding GoAccess-based log reporting and containerized integrations. He also moves quickly on product-focused rebuilds, having rewritten a high‑traffic hotel certification site in a month to achieve mobile-first design, i18n, and 90+ Lighthouse scores. Based in Woburn, MA, Dillon pairs hands-on engineering with an eye for practical UX and operational excellence, and maintains a portfolio of side projects that reflect his curiosity and breadth.
