Ron McClain

I am a seasoned veteran with over 20 years of experience in backend engineering. I've spent about half of my career building scalable and performant internet applications and services in languages like Ruby, Perl, and PHP. I've spent the other half in DevOps, building tools to deploy, monitor, and maintain these types of systems. While my first love is programming, I'm a tech junkie who prides himself on understanding all of the components that go into making the internet work, from the hardware to the operating system to the network all the way to the application layer. My depth and breadth of knowledge has always given me a unique perspective on how to build systems that are scalable and maintainable. I'm currently seeking a position as a senior or lead software engineer in interesting and engaging problem domains.
