About Me

Hey, I'm Lucas! I'm a web engineer at Veryable in Dallas, building tools that help businesses manage their workforce more efficiently. I work mostly with React, TypeScript, and Next.js to create features that people actually use every day.

Before getting into tech, I ran eight restaurants for about ten years. It was chaotic, rewarding, and taught me a ton about solving real problems under pressure. That experience completely changed how I think about building software. Running those restaurants made me appreciate simple, reliable tools that just work when you need them. The same principles i apply to building software today!

I got into coding through DevMountain's bootcamp in 2022, and honestly haven't looked back. I love the puzzle-solving aspect of engineering and the satisfaction of shipping something that makes a difference. When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me exploring Dallas, trying out new restaurants (old habits), or picking up yet an other new hobby!

Clean Code

I write code that's easy to read and maintain. My teammates should be able to understand what I built.

Design Focus

Good design matters. If something looks confusing or feels clunky, people won't use it.

Problem Solving

I like figuring out solutions to tricky problems. Sometimes the simple answer is the best one.

Always Learning

Tech changes fast. I keep up with what's new and figure out what's actually useful.
