Lucas Vertrees
Software engineer by trade, photographer by obsession, and - with my wife - a revolving foster home for dogs who need a soft place to land.
Hi, I'm Lucas.
I'm a software engineer based in Denver, Colorado. I was born in Brooklyn and grew up about fifteen minutes from where Woodstock happened, studied in Rochester, New York, and moved west to Denver in 2020 for work.
When I'm not writing code you'll usually find me chasing light with a camera, playing guitar, trying to find something to do outdoors.
Experience
A quick overview — for the full story (and an up-to-date résumé), just reach out.
Hobbies
Started with a Nikon D5600 in college; these days I shoot nature on a Fujifilm X-T5 while travelling, camping, and hiking.
Playing since 2013 — self-taught, with one year of formal lessons.
Single-player is my go-to, but I'm always up for some co-op with friends.
Two dozen dogs and counting
Since 2022, my wife and I have fostered more dogs than we can easily count. Meet the crew that's passed through our living room.
