STEPHEN LuCORE
Programmer / Scientist / Entrepreneur
PROFILE
I’m an enthusiastic programmer and
scientist with a broad knowledge base
encompassing engineering and medicine
who has experience contributing to both
academic and commercial codebases. I
excelled through two graduate programs,
meanwhile teaching myself to set up and
run a secure, self-hosted e-commerce site
from scratch using several open-source
software stacks. As such, I’ve a wealth of
experience building hardware and software
from the varied perspectives of hobbyist,
academic, and startup. My greatest
strength is an ability to quickly develop new
skills, adapt to established processes, and
learn languages as demanded by the task
at hand. My next job will ideally provide the
opportunity to continue honing my business,
programming, and technical writing skills in
a team-based setting which nonetheless
capitalizes on my autonomous proclivity.
