Gordo Lowrey

Gordo Lowrey is a Senior Software Engineer at Veda Data Solutions. Gordo previously worked as a Senior Systems Architect at Unite Us from November 2019 to November 2020.

Gordo was brought onto the Unite Us team without a clearly established position or set of goals. Gordo quickly familiarized himself with the company's existing infrastructure and systems, and the history that brought them to the current state. Gordo then worked to push the technology vision for Unite Us into the future. Gordo analyzed existing systems and built plans and RFCs with the goal to push the architecture towards a high performing system that would support future growth and unforeseen business needs, while meeting near-term requirements.

Gordo's initial goal was to push for domain models and business process modeling to help reconcile differences in perspective among teams and stakeholders. By the end of their time with Unite Us, they were working primarily with the data team. Gordo was able to leave the company with a robust and reusable data architecture built around abstracted statically typed data models and code generation for Unite Us' core languages. Gordo built tooling to transform Ruby code into Python, to ease the burden of data management for core teams, and built a robust and generative validation layer using Scala models with static typing and code generation for primary languages: Ruby/Go, and Scala/Python. Gordo left their team with a reusable set of hooks/functions to transfer data from PostgreSQL, using PL/pg

Gordo Lowrey's educational career includes a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a Bachelor of Arts in Art/Art Studies, General from the same school.
