About Me

My name is Lars Ellingsen. I live in Southern California, and I love creating software that helps others achieve their goals, become more efficient, and just make life easier. Beyond software development, I enjoy a number of other things — sports, music (almost all genres), TV and movies, investments and financial markets, reading sci-fi/fantasy, and more.

I am currently employed as a Full Stack Software Engineer at Datavant. There are a lot of different topics and technologies that I cover in my day-to-day job, and I love the focus on accomplishing a goal rather than specific technologies or frameworks. That said, I work a lot with TypeScript, React, Python, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform.

My career path has been:

• 2012-2016: Junior/Intermediate Full Stack Developer (In-N-Out)
• 2016-2022: Engineering Manager / Senior Engineering Manager (In-N-Out, Updater)
• 2022-2023: Senior Frontend Engineer (Dashlane)
• 2023-Present: Senior/Staff Full Stack Engineer (Datavant)
