Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGreg Walker is a consulting software engineer with 11 years of experience who helps government partners buy and build better software while leaving teams capable of sustaining modern systems. As a tech lead at 18F he blends hands-on backend development, code review, and procurement expertise—working on everything from Slack bots to the backend for large grants systems—and has supported state Medicaid and child welfare modernization efforts. He prefers higher-level languages and excels at debugging complex, “hairy” problems, but keeps curious about low-level concepts and emerging tools like Rust and modern React. Greg is passionate about demystifying software for non-developers, coaching stakeholders to understand technical trade-offs so procurement and policy decisions are more informed. Based in Kansas City and active on GitHub, he balances practical engineering with teaching, dog toys, and a pragmatic approach to making software serve people better.
