Summary
👤
SeniorSpencer Stecko is a Senior Software Architect based in Denver with nearly a decade focused on distributed systems, microservices, and data pipelines. He has a strong track record at Palantir driving productization, multi-tenancy, CI/CD standards, and replacing rigid access controls with customizable RBAC across large platforms. As a tech and people lead he built high-impact services—such as an NLP/LLM-backed entity-extraction pipeline with geo-temporal enrichment and a native Windows client in Rust—and holds a patent for performance-focused data synchronization work. Spencer combines hands-on engineering with cross-organizational prioritization, routinely translating stakeholder needs into high-value projects and operational standards. Now at Kodex, he continues to shape architecture and delivery for scalable platforms while favoring pragmatic, measurable improvements over theoretical designs. Colleagues rely on him for solving thorny reliability and performance problems that others avoid.
