Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLucas Kim is a pragmatic software leader and founder with nine years of experience building and managing payment and platform engineering teams, most recently leading development for Shopify Payments before co-founding Analog Studio. He blends hands-on full-stack Rails experience—highlighted by nontrivial contributions to the popular shopify_app repository around authentication and session management—with people leadership and product delivery at scale. Trained as a mechatronics engineer (University of Waterloo) and honed across manufacturing, controls, and SaaS, he brings systems thinking to both code and organizational design. Introspective and decisive by nature, he favors simplicity in code (hence “I ❤️ deleting code”) and a bias toward pragmatic, test-backed change.
