Rich Mccluskey is a Lead Software Engineer based in California with 11 years of experience modernizing and shipping web applications across startups and mature products. He currently leads a frontend migration from a legacy PHP stack to Next.js, having refactored complex systems like a wiki/guide revision control and introduced TypeScript testing practices where only E2E tests existed. Comfortable spanning modern React/TypeScript frontends and legacy PHP backends, he pairs hands-on implementation with mentoring and hiring responsibilities. His background in civil engineering and field surveying gives him a practical, systems-oriented approach to problem solving and a habit of improving skills outside work—often on a mountain bike or surfboard.
