Long-Term Goal
Software Architect
Reliable, scalable software systems
I’m Oliver Gilcher, a Computer Science student focused on backend engineering, distributed systems, platform infrastructure, and software architecture.
I enjoy working on the systems behind modern applications: APIs, databases, authentication, deployment pipelines, monitoring, automation, and the architectural decisions that keep software reliable as it grows.
Through projects like Mission Control, Lunar Deploy Agent, and LunaPal, I’ve been building software that goes beyond small demos and focuses on real engineering problems: deployment orchestration, backend APIs, infrastructure coordination, and scalable application design.

Career Target
Software Engineer I
Engineering work focused on backend systems, platform infrastructure, deployment tooling, and scalable application architecture.
2026 - Present
LunarLabs
Designing internal software systems for client operations, deployment workflows, and engineering automation.
Selected work focused on backend systems, deployment infrastructure, application architecture, and platform engineering.
Control Plane API
A backend control-plane system for managing clients, projects, deployments, launch workflows, members, and operational state.
Open Source Deployment Worker
A Go-based server agent that executes deployment jobs, exposes health endpoints, streams events, and reports deployment history.
Cross-Platform Life Management App
A life-management platform with mobile-first architecture, backend services, authentication, and modular product areas.
I believe software is more than code. Good engineering comes from understanding systems, designing thoughtfully, and building solutions that remain reliable as they grow.
Every project begins with understanding how the system should fit together before writing code. Strong architecture leads to maintainable software.
I enjoy building software that remains dependable as it grows through clean design, monitoring, testing, and thoughtful engineering decisions.
Whether it's deployment platforms, APIs, or backend services, I enjoy creating software that can evolve instead of being rewritten.
Clear APIs, documentation, automation, and maintainable code make software easier to build, extend, and operate.
Technologies I've used throughout academic, professional, and personal engineering projects.
