Senior🎓
Top SchoolLawrence Shea is a pragmatic software engineer and company owner with over a decade of hands-on experience building and optimizing web applications across PHP/Laravel, JavaScript/TypeScript, and a broad cloud stack. He blends deep expertise in performance engineering—caching, queuing, Redis, RabbitMQ—and database optimization (MySQL, Mongo, Aurora) with practical DevOps skills in Docker, Kubernetes, CloudFormation and Terraform. Having worked as an entrepreneur, contractor, and senior engineer at startups and large enterprises, he frequently serves as "the fixer" who sees creative solutions others miss. He champions testing and TDD, has led major performance rewrites that slashed SQL queries and shifted load to Redis, and has spoken at multiple PHP/Laravel conferences. Currently running a vacation rental business where he applies automation to operations, he uniquely couples product-minded engineering with real-world business ownership. Based in Hampton, NH, he’s known among peers as a fast learner who turns messy legacy systems into maintainable, high-performing platforms.
