A bit about me

Lucas Cummings — Full Stack Engineer
const me = "Lucas Cummings"

I'm a full stack engineer who likes shipping things people actually use. Over the last 4+ years I've taken a regulated fintech platform from a blank repo all the way to the App Store — and I care just as much about the small details as the big systems.

When I'm not building, you'll find me somewhere around Calgary with my wife and our dog, Benji.

Skills, written in CSS

Full stack developer with 4+ years of production experience. Lead developer on Universe Money Transfer, a regulated Canadian remittance platform shipped to iOS, Android, and web. I build across Node.js, TypeScript, Firebase, and Google Cloud Platform — with hands-on work in KYC/AML compliance and live payment integrations.
