Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolShean L is a Senior Software Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 10 years of experience building full-stack web applications using React, Python (Flask/Django), SQL, and Golang. He blends product-focused frontend work with backend microservice design, having shipped React features and optimized Postgres-backed Python APIs at Granular and now at hims & hers. A self-directed sabbatical at the Recurse Center deepened his expertise in distributed systems and concurrency—he implemented a distributed file system, consensus and membership modules, and wrote about the process while publishing a self-updating web gallery. Practical, data-driven problem solving dates back to internships where he converted legacy models to C# and automated bioinformatics pipelines in Python, highlighting a knack for performance wins and tooling. He pairs an agricultural engineering background with a nature-oriented outlook—“nature man living in a computer house”—bringing curiosity and a systems-minded approach to production engineering.
