About

Hi, I'm Lucas.

I'm a software and integration developer based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I like problems where correctness matters — secure data exchange, systems that can't go down, and code that holds up under real-world load.

Today I build naval-fleet integrations at J.D. Irving. Before that I shipped industrial automation at C-Therm and full-stack products in consulting. Off the clock, I write open-source tools and dig into systems internals for fun.

Education: B.C.S., University of New Brunswick
