Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLewis Sobotkiewicz is a staff software developer with 14 years of experience building and operating full-stack systems with an emphasis on backend architecture and cloud infrastructure. He has led engineering and SRE teams through large migrations, cost optimizations and security certifications, including driving PCI compliance and cutting hosting costs by 30% at scale. Comfortable switching between hands-on coding and technical leadership, he has held roles from principal engineer to VP of Technology, hiring senior engineers and defining governance for multi-account AWS environments. Lewis favors pragmatic, question-driven approaches to contentious problems and prioritizes impact, empathy and curiosity when shaping teams and systems. Based in Calgary, he pairs strong operational instincts with a history of shipping reliability improvements—test harnesses, CI/deployment pipelines, and resilient APIs—that keep live products healthy. An early founder and continual practitioner, he brings a product-minded perspective to infrastructure challenges rather than treating operations as an afterthought.
