Summary
Luke Wassink is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building full-stack web applications and production ML tooling, blending strengths in TypeScript, Python, C++, Rails, and React. A University of Michigan CS graduate, he has repeatedly taken technical lead roles—most recently architecting scalable, internet-facing auth and performance solutions at Merck that enabled ~10x peak load and led cross-team leadership. He designs practical automation and drafting engines for regulated domains, delivering solutions estimated to save Merck ~$1M annually while reducing manual work in safety reporting. Comfortable across front-end, back-end, and functional-programming paradigms (Scala, Octave), he enjoys pairing pragmatic engineering with research-minded experimentation. Based in Dallas but with roots in Cambridge, MA, Luke gravitates toward projects that combine domain complexity, measurable business impact, and elegant engineering.
