Top SchoolLuke Pillar is a software engineer with a decade of experience building front-end and back-end systems for data-focused products, most recently contributing to Azure Data Factory and leading build and infrastructure for Tableau Prep.

At Tableau he progressed from front-end contributor to engineering manager, improving developer productivity and release pipelines, and earlier roles include backend work at Microsoft and R&D internships tackling simulation and networking problems. Now self-employed and creating book-focused content on YouTube, he balances hands-on engineering with public communication and a curiosity for how software shapes understanding.
