Summary
Lucas Shadler is a Senior Staff Software Engineer in San Diego with a physics degree and 4+ years of hands-on experience building resilient full-stack systems and platform infrastructure at scale. He focuses on developer productivity and confidence—designing linting, environment-aware build systems, and robust unit/functional/integration testing to let teams move fast while catching anomalies. His stack spans React (Gatsby/Next), Spring Boot/Java backends, and AWS serverless/cloud components, and he’s driven platform capabilities used across product and ML workflows at Flock Freight. Prior roles at Intuit sharpened his expertise in authentication, pipelining, and removing external dependencies in favor of internal tooling. Comfortable bridging research-grade algorithms (LIGO/astrophysics work) and production engineering, he brings a blend of scientific rigor and pragmatic automation to shipping reliable, performant experiences.
