Luke Brody

Technical co-lead of the platform authentication (8 engineers) team. I work deeply with OAuth and related technologies to support customer-configurable SSO, as well as internal authentication security initiatives.
I worked with our AI teams to implement MCP client support in our platform.
I led a team of 4 engineers to implement our platform Cloud API which unifies APIs from various internal microservices under a reliable, customer accessible portal.
I was the tech lead of the Growth (6 engineers) team, which implemented platform trial and partner connect (Looker Studio, Databricks, Snowflake) functionality that drives >1000/mo high-quality sales leads.
I build TypeScript microfrontends and backend microservices.
I own CI/CD pipelines, including unit, integration, contract, and e2e testing.
I work to up-skill colleagues by reviewing designs and code, and by leading book clubs for the recommendations below.

What? Startup making construction project accounting software.
Who? Technical co-founder. Worked with two experienced construction execs to dogfood at their company. I built a webapp from the ground up, then worked closely with users to refine the experience.
Results: Clamshell manages $300 million worth of projects that bring in $80 million in annual revenue. Clamshell allows the same number of employees to accomplish more with less stress. Thanks to robust automation and forward-thinking design, Clamshell has reliably operated for 4+ years with minimal effort required for upkeep.
Proud of keeping design + infra simple (one DB, one webapp) to allow dev time for features.
Technologies: Scala, JavaScript, Ansible, Linux, Apache POI, MySQL, Selenium

What? Teleprompter software for Mac & iOS. Incredibly feature-rich.
Who? Solo developer/businessperson. Built the whole thing + marketing + customer support.
Results: Over 20k units sold to date. Used by customers in various industries, including entertainment, real estate, and religious practice.
Proud of building an entire CRDT framework to support collaborative editing. Running a business.

Key Skills

Takes a project "from zero to production". (Evidenced by creating Teleprompter, Clamshell, draw.fish)
Learns new technologies. (Evidenced by picking up Scala for Clamshell, TypeScript+React+Node for draw.fish, onboarding quickly at Alteryx)
Develops deep knowledge about technologies. (Evidenced by mastery of notoriously finicky Mac + iOS development for Teleprompter)
Develops flexible + maintainable designs. (Evidenced by continued maintenance + many Teleprompter feature updates, Clamshell requirements changing often during development.)
Conquers hard technical problems. (Developing CRDT algorithms for Teleprompter, Geometry problems for draw.fish)
Technical Leadership Led teams of 4-8 engineers, planned projects, and prioritized feature delivery at Alteryx.
