Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Locsei is a software architect with 12 years of full‑stack experience building developer-facing systems that make teams faster, safer, and happier. Based in Beachwood, Ohio, he has a strong track record modernizing legacy Rails apps, consolidating front-end asset pipelines, and replacing manual processes with self‑service tooling. Justin has repeatedly sped deployments and reduced code bloat—once deleting thousands of lines and eliminating nearly a million lines of generated code—while introducing reproducible dev environments with Ansible/Chef and Vagrant. He has built scalable demos and product builds in React, authored language-specific style guides, and led the tech side of a retail recommendations startup as CTO. Comfortable across Python, Ruby, Django, Rails, Postgres, Solr, and React, he blends pragmatic engineering with a background in education and tooling that surfaces usage and connections for nontechnical users. Practical, detail-oriented, and curious, he often tackles the invisible infrastructure work that materially improves developer velocity.
