Parker Lewis is a Technical Product Manager with 11 years of hands-on software and product experience, currently shaping internal platforms at Optum to modernize legacy workflows and APIs. He combines a developer's understanding—built through roles as a software engineer at Target and API-focused product ownership at Casey’s—with product rigor to define data models, API architectures, and reusable UI strategies. Parker excels at translating complex stakeholder needs into clear scope, workflows, and integration plans, having served as a liaison for legacy systems and enterprise-wide platform integrations. He’s practiced in Azure/.NET deployments, GraphQL schema design, and running Scrum teams while keeping uptime and production reliability front of mind. Unusually for a PM, he began his career teaching full-stack development to cohorts of hundreds, which sharpened his ability to communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences. Based in Tracy, California, he blends pragmatic engineering empathy with product leadership to reduce technical friction across organizations.
