Top SchoolLucas Czekaj is a founder and seasoned software leader with 13 years of experience building production-grade systems that span backend architecture, integrations, and product delivery. Based in Las Vegas, he currently leads Peppermint Engineering, turning food purchase data into AI-driven insights to power personalized nutrition for modern wellness platforms. Previously he drove high-impact user-facing systems at Instacart—designing Fresh Funds for digital health stipends, revamping transactional notifications, and migrating services to GraphQL—after a decade of enterprise software and consulting roles including engineering leadership at Guidewire and Deloitte. He combines hands-on engineering with product sensibility and investor perspective through Limelit Ventures, where he backs data and immersive learning startups.
