Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Karahadian is a software engineer based in Berkeley with 11 years of experience building practical, research-informed systems across embedded devices, front-end UI, and algorithmic tooling. A UC Berkeley EECS graduate (3.941 GPA), he has shipped product-facing firmware and Python pipelines for a medical physical therapy device at Hive Concepts and now works at Google. Lucas has a strong front-end pedigree demonstrated by contributions to the well-known Snap! visual programming language, where he implemented UI components for musical input—melding interface design with domain-specific interactions. He combines academic rigor from MRI metabolism modeling and MATLAB simulation with hands-on maker skills in Arduino and bespoke Java tools like LabStitcher. Outside work he decompresses through music, walking, and cross-stitch, hobbies that visibly inform his user-centered projects.
