Justin Searles is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building and evolving product platforms from startup prototypes to production systems. He’s led platform and refactor initiatives at Arcadia Power—decomposing monoliths into service-oriented architectures while owning billing, account management, and customer-facing integrations. A founder and early-stage operator, he launched VentureBoard and helped incubate student entrepreneurship, blending product intuition with hands-on engineering. Justin pairs a formal background in computer science and astronomy with a rigorous, question-first approach to problem solving, favoring clarity before design. Now at Teammates, he enjoys small teams tackling big problems and continually leveling up systems and people. Colleagues describe him as critically analytical, self-aware, and unusually good at turning complex requirements into practical solutions.
