Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Lacz is a software engineer with 10+ years of experience building products that turn complex data and algorithms into practical, time-saving experiences. He has held senior engineering roles at Google across multiple teams—transportation inference, Drive media viewing, and SketchUp’s LayOut—before joining The Browser Company, and he founded Afield Trails to apply technology to nature-guided field guides for the Rocky Mountain National Park. His background blends computer graphics (M.S. from UIUC) with applied machine vision work early in his career, giving him a strong foundation in both visual systems and large-scale product engineering. Patrick excels at shipping polished user experiences that hide algorithmic complexity, and he’s comfortable moving between prototype-to-production across iOS, Android, and web platforms. Based in Louisville, Colorado, he brings entrepreneurial curiosity and a track record of driving multidisciplinary projects that connect technical depth with real-world impact.
