Sean Lawlor

Yo, so let me tell you about Sean Lawlor, this guy’s a total machine. He’s a YC W19 alum, which already says a lot ’cause YC is basically the startup Olympics. But what’s crazy is his background. Dude’s been all over the place, aerospace, robotics, startups, you name it.

Started out with serious creds in aerospace engineering, got both a BS and MS from Georgia Tech, which is no joke. He’s been deep in the space game, working at NASA JPL and Goddard. Like, he’s been in the labs with rockets, satellites, the whole deal. That’s some advanced engineering shit right there. Plus, he did internships at NASA, so he’s no stranger to big, complex tech.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Instead of just staying in space, he jumped into the robotics scene, co-founded Sorting Robotics, a YC-backed startup. He was COO, leading product dev and firmware for robots. That’s a sign he’s got the hustle and the technical chops to turn crazy ideas into real shit. This guy’s not just dreaming; he’s building.

Fast forward, now he’s crushing it as a Full Stack Software Engineer at Snackpass. This platform is all about social payments and mobile ordering, super modern, super social, super needed. He’s been there since late 2021, so he’s still in the thick of it, pushing forward on what’s next in social tech.

What’s the vibe with Sean? To me, it’s obvious he’s all about pushing boundaries, space, robots, startups. He’s not afraid of the tough problems and thrives on solving complex problems that actually make an impact. His whole process screams curiosity and a relentless drive to build stuff that matters. From rockets to robots to social apps, he’s the real deal, someone who’s not just talking tech but actually making shit happen.

Long story short, Sean’s the type of guy who jumps into whatever’s hard and figures out how to crush it. That’s why he’s important, he’s living proof that if you’re passionate and you’re willing to work your ass off, you can jump from space labs to startups and keep killing it. No Cap.
