Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Lawless is a veteran Lead Software Engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience evolving from mainframe Assembler and COBOL to modern Java, .NET, and JavaScript enterprise systems. Based in Gretna, Nebraska, he has progressed through technical and architectural leadership roles at FNBO and First National Bank of Omaha, shaping payment, imaging, and large-scale application platforms. Jim pairs low-level systems expertise in C/C++ and assembly with practical scripting (Python, AWK, PowerShell) to automate and stabilize complex environments. He brings a long history of web development dating to 1995 and a knack for clear technical communication—evidenced by college teaching and published technical writing—that helps bridge engineering and business stakeholders. Known for using diagramming and architecture visuals to drive design clarity, he leads teams to build maintainable systems that endure. An often-overlooked strength is his continuity across technology eras, enabling pragmatic modernization decisions grounded in an intimate knowledge of legacy constraints.
