Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Cotner is a Senior Staff Engineer in Seattle with 12 years of experience designing and delivering full-stack web and cloud-native systems, currently shaping architecture and delivery at Climate. He blends deep front-end expertise in React, TypeScript, and spatial visualization (ArcGIS/Mapbox/Leaflet) with backend and serverless experience in Node and Python on AWS, enabling teams to ship continuous deployments. At The Climate Corporation he combined technical leadership and solution-architect duties across multiple Agile value streams, driving cross-team prioritization, budgeting, and lifecycle planning. He’s led client-facing and internal projects from architecture through CI/CD, mentoring engineers and hiring across stacks. Early GIS roles and a UW degree in Geographic Information Systems give him uncommon depth in spatial data workflows and tooling, which he continues to apply to climate-focused products. His GitHub (SwampGuzzler) complements a practical, delivery-first approach to building resilient, testable systems.
