Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPat Desantis is a seasoned software engineer and engineering leader with 14 years of experience building products from seed-stage startups to public companies, now based in Boston and currently at Lumos. He combines deep hands-on expertise—shipping platform components in Swift, C, C++, Typescript and Electron—with people leadership, having grown and managed teams and sourced specialized hires and contractors. As a founding engineer and later manager at Descript he led cross-platform rewrites, core media engine work, and technical due diligence for acquisitions, balancing rapid product iteration with long-term architecture. Earlier in his career he led iOS efforts on multiple Apple-honored apps (including two App Store Best of the Year selections) and has a long track record of shipping native apps that blend product design with technical rigor. Notably comfortable tackling projects where no one on the team has prior expertise, he pairs curiosity-driven experimentation with pragmatic delivery.
