Lucas Healy.

Renaissance

I left full time work to focus on family, chase tech that excites me, and direct my career towards something more meaningful.

So I am letting my curiosity lead me toward my passions, playing with microprocessors, and having a lot of fun working with the Beam, Elixir, and Phoenix.

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.

I worked full-time building and maintaining Estée's global enterprise e-commerce system. I spent most of my time on the payments team working the full stack. I had the most fun being on the ground floor of a modernization effort based around the Beam and Elixir.

Wordpress Plugin Development

I developed a small suite of Wordpress plugins that integrated with third party CRMs like Pipedrive. These plugins began gaining traction, but I pulled the plug early to focus on Estée Lauder.

Full-time Self Employed Engineer

I pursued my dream of working as a fully remote software engineer (pre-covid!). I took on full stack work primarily utilizing PHP, Javascript, and bumbling through whatever front-end frameworks the current project was using. This was the first time I gained a lot of valuable experience turning business requirements into technical solutions.

Booj

I cut my teeth as a back-end engineer using a PHP LAMP stack at a real estate start-up. Booj eventually sold to RE/MAX.

Int'l Social Enterprising

I spent a combined 2 years in Ghana working with local NGOs. Ultimately I ended up at an intership with CDD Ghana where I worked on web and SMS distribution of education, health, and water quality data.

Undergrad - UCSC

I graduated with a degree in Global Information and Social Enterprise Studies. A specialized program focused on taking social justice oriented students and injecting technological solutions into their repertoire.
