Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLane Larue is a Principal Software Engineer based in Seattle with 13 years of experience building full-stack, customer-facing products and backend services across startups and large enterprises. At Smartsheet and previously at Amazon and Xevo, Lane has combined hands-on coding with technical leadership—growing teams, improving delivery processes, and driving large refactors from monoliths to Kubernetes microservices. He has a track record of increasing engineering productivity (custom CLIs, CI pipelines, Terraform automation) and removing massive technical debt to improve production throughput and reduce build times. Comfortable across front-end stacks (React, Redux, Electron) and backend systems, Lane also bridges product and architecture as a pragmatic solutions architect who writes API specs and leads feasibility work. He’s equally at home coaching engineers and participating in hiring to scale teams while fostering ownership and measurable process improvements. A UW Informatics graduate, Lane brings a mix of practical product focus and systems-level thinking that consistently turns ambiguous requirements into reliable production outcomes.
