Luther Boorn is a seasoned software leader and Director of Software Development based in Portland, Oregon, with nearly two decades of experience delivering large-scale, customer-facing products. He currently leads eBay’s search front-end across iOS, Android and web, coordinating complex dependencies for platforms serving over 100M users and managing organizations of 90+ engineers. Known for blending systems-thinking with pragmatic Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban) he builds sustainable cross-team processes, drives quality excellence, and mentors engineering managers to accelerate career growth. His background spans mission-critical avionics and mobile-first innovations at Boeing/Jeppesen, including pioneering the industry-shifting iPad charting app for paperless cockpits. Equally comfortable reviewing technical designs and diving into user-metric driven experimentation, he pairs hands-on technical oversight (Java, Swift, Node.js) with strategic program risk management. Luther’s uncommon combination of aerospace-grade regulatory experience and consumer-scale product delivery gives him a rare perspective on engineering rigor at internet scale.
