Lucia Lu is a Backend Product Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable web systems and modernizing core infrastructure at companies like Dropbox and Doist. She has led high-impact projects—migrating Todoist search to Elasticsearch, replatforming billing to Stripe, and redesigning an email pipeline that processes ~1M sends/day—while earlier work included front-end performance wins such as a 90% page-load improvement and leading the AmEx Dashboard front-end. A pragmatic problem solver and fast learner, she bridges front-end and back-end concerns to shorten development cycles and handle production peaks. Off-hours curiosity shows in a THREE.JS game she built and featured as her portfolio header, reflecting a blend of craftsmanship and product sensibility.
