Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLewis Zimmerman is a versatile engineer with 16 years of experience building user-centered interfaces and the dependable, scalable systems that power them. He has led architecture and product development across startups and enterprise engagements—designing machine-learned recommendation systems at Sokanu, real-time assessment and security tooling at Prelude, and high-performance game-server infrastructure at Relic. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Clojure, Python, JS, C/C++), he focuses on absorbing complexity so users experience software that feels intelligent and invisible. Based in Vancouver, he blends product-minded UI/UX design with deep systems and performance engineering to deliver measurable leverage. Past work includes building analytics and optimization pipelines for large content platforms and automated adversary emulation tooling for security testing—examples of his appetite for hard, cross-disciplinary problems. He’s equally drawn to designing how people think and how systems should be shaped to anticipate them.
