Top SchoolLucian Hontau is a seasoned full-stack engineer and entrepreneur with 16 years of experience building scalable web platforms, APIs, and developer tooling from startup to enterprise. As co-founder of Incodepany he bootstrapped a profitable app store for GPL WordPress plugins and designed a Plugin Manager, on-demand WordPress test instances with Docker Swarm, and automated product update pipelines using Clojure-driven browser automation. He brings deep expertise in Clojure/ClojureScript and modern JS frameworks alongside decades of PHP, AWS, search, and infrastructure work, and has repeatedly modernized legacy systems (PHP 5→8, MySQL→Postgres) to improve performance and maintainability. Lucian favors clean, readable code and minimizing cognitive load for developers, and has applied that philosophy across NLP services, scalable APIs, and CI-driven deployments. Based in Portland, he pairs hands-on engineering with product sensibility and a long track record of shipping pragmatic, production-ready systems.
