About
The person behind the work
Laputa Labs is led by Scott Enock — a senior software engineer with over seven years of experience building products across the full stack. Scott has led engineering teams, shipped greenfield projects to millions of users, and consistently prioritised simple, maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity.
In September 2024, Scott founded Laputa Labs to work independently — taking on a small number of clients each year and giving each engagement genuine, focused attention. He currently works as a senior contractor at Global Cyber Alliance via Laputa Labs, alongside a carefully selected group of other clients.
How I work
Full-stack depth
Comfortable across the entire stack — React frontends, Node and Go backends, mobile apps, AWS infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines.
Delivery-first
A strong advocate for continuous delivery, small frequent deployments, and robust pipelines that keep production healthy.
Long-term thinking
Code quality and architectural health are never sacrificed for short-term speed. Clean, maintainable code is the goal every time.
