Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Clear is a Senior Technical Architect with eight years of experience designing and delivering cloud-native, full‑stack applications—particularly on AWS using serverless, Kubernetes, and Terraform-driven infrastructure. He progressed from craft brewer to tech lead, bringing a hands-on, process-oriented mindset that produced cost-saving automation (including a tag-removal Lambda that cut unallocated cloud spend by 25%) and reusable Terraform modules for compliant, on-demand provisioning. At the University of Phoenix he led a Next.js server-side rendering migration using Lambda@Edge and taught a 150+ engineer bootcamp on AWS full‑stack practices, and he later advanced through senior engineering roles at lululemon before returning to architecture leadership. Comfortable across front-end React/GraphQL and back-end Python/Node ecosystems, he blends developer ergonomics with scalable operations and a taste for practical experimentation. Outside work he’s a bibliophile of The Office, an avid outdoorsman, and a devoted seeker of the city’s best bibimbap—evidence of a curious, culture-minded approach to problem solving.
