About

Grounded, reliable, AI-aware engineering

David Lucas is a software engineer who ships calm, resilient systems. He leans frontend but owns end-to-end delivery: micro-frontends, GraphQL, orchestration, and the CI that keeps releases boring.

He has built document and contract intelligence workflows — OCR to clause extraction to risk review — and knows how to make LLM-powered features feel reliable for legal and operations teams.

Family-oriented and on a founder path, he optimizes for trustworthy execution over hype.

What I’m optimizing for

  • Quality with clarity
  • Speed without drama
  • Ownership across stack
  • Readable systems and tests

Highlights

Proof without hype

Shipped multi-frontend systems

Built cohesive experiences across micro-frontends with consistent patterns, shared UI, and guarded contracts.

GraphQL-backed features

Designed schemas, solved performance hotspots, and kept clients resilient with typed contracts.

Workflow orchestration & reliability

Used Temporal and queues to make document pipelines observable, retriable, and boring to operate.

AI-assisted document pipelines

OCR, clause extraction, LLM-powered reviewers, and human-in-the-loop surfaces that teams trust.

Testing & CI discipline

Snapshot-safe UI, API contract tests, and pipelines that block regressions instead of slowing shipping.
