Summary
Luke Lovett is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building reliable, scalable systems and APIs, currently designing software at Unspun that turns 3D body scans into perfectly fitting jeans. He has a strong track record of modernizing architecture—leading a successful migration from a Ruby on Rails monolith to microservices that reduced costs and improved velocity—and deep experience contributing to MongoDB tooling and connectors. Comfortable across the full stack and infrastructure automation (terraform), Luke mentors engineers, drives production improvements, and automates complex domain processes into robust tooling. Based in Shibuya and pursuing Japanese study, he pairs technical craft with experimental creativity—an avid hobbyist in fermentation, climbing, sewing, and manga—which informs a hands-on, user-focused approach to product design.
