Profile: https://flows.cv/lukefloden

Product/Software Engineer with 5 YOE in healthcare and climate tech startups. Project lead of distributed teams.

My real passion is in honing a consistent and thoughtful user experience. From the design, implementation, performance aspects; whatever it takes to make the experience feel frictionless.

I work well with tradeoffs, and I am not afraid to make tough decisions. I've worked with startups for most of my career, acting not only as a developer, but taking on product ownership and project management responsibilities.

I've worked on delivering all aspects of a product. From balancing design and feasibility, to architecting new features, and managing team resources.
