Lucas Moran

Platform Engineer
Luke is a seasoned engineer with over a decade of experience in creating and maintaining software. He has a passion for writing software that impacts lives in a positive and tangible way, which is what led him to work at AidKit, where he seeks to realize the immense positive impact that well-crafted software solutions can have on the public benefits space.

Luke has more than 10 years of experience writing and collaborating on software, leading and mentoring fellow software engineers.

Primarily, Luke's focus has been on near-real-time event systems; at Fidelity Investments, he had the opportunity to create and maintain trading systems of different varieties -- as well as utilizing Machine Learning techniques to improve the investment process; at Seismic, he created a globally distributed event ingestion pipeline which he lovingly refers to as "the raincloud above the datalake".

He occasionally volunteers to do resume reviews and career guidance for CodeSquad, a non-profit that provides software engineering training to adults in the greater Boston area.

Luke has a BS in Business Administration, specialized in IT from Southern New Hampshire University. He holds two certificates from Coursera -- both related to Machine Learning.

Outside of Work

No matter the season, Luke is always ready to break out the board games -- his favorite being Betrayal at the House on the Hill -- or jam out to some jazz/blues on guitar with friends. During the winter months, you'll find him skiing both in the north east and out west, or getting lost in a game of Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom!
