Russell Holz is a Principal Engineer with a decade of experience building production-grade JavaScript, TypeScript and React applications backed by Node.js, currently leading workflow engineering at Arcadia. He brings a rare scientific-to-software career arc—transitioning from computational and production chemistry work on DoD/NSF genetic engineering and oncology projects to shipping scalable web platforms—which informs a data-driven approach to engineering. Russell has held senior technical roles at Veracode, Longbow Security, Meta and Truera, blending security-conscious architecture with hands-on frontend and backend development. Known for increasing throughput and lowering costs in lab operations early in his career, he applies the same efficiency mindset to optimize engineering processes and team delivery.
