Shea Lewis is a backend-focused engineering manager in Seattle with 11 years building web platforms and tooling, currently leading backend engineering at Nintendo of America. He treats PHP as his native language and has a strong track record designing API-first CMS platforms (FusionCMS v5–v6) and operational tooling that scaled hosting and monitoring for 300+ sites. Shea combines hands-on implementation—like authoring a Laravel modules package and creating automated release/update services—with team leadership and DevOps ownership. He has a knack for shaving development and content-entry hours via automation (e.g., the Matrix system) and for turning internal needs into reusable open-source solutions such as Ghost Language. Comfortable in Japanese, Shea blends pragmatic engineering, platform thinking, and product-minded tooling to help design and ship reliable web systems.
