Summary
Gabe O'Brien is a Senior Sales Engineer in Portland with over a decade of hands-on web development experience and a 14+-year background in building and maintaining dynamic, secure commerce sites and custom web apps. He blends front-end craftsmanship (hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) with back-end optimization—improving SQL performance, refactoring legacy systems, and adapting open-source solutions rather than reinventing them. Gabe has moved projects from screenshots to production, led web tooling and community platforms at the Eclipse Foundation, and modernized large PHP/MySQL sites early in his career. Highly personable and client-facing, he thrives at the intersection of technical delivery and collaborative problem-solving, now applying that skillset to security-focused sales engineering at Lacework. A pragmatic polyglot with experience across Rails, Django, Drupal, Grails and Java, he brings both consulting breadth and deep production coding discipline.
