Summary
Angus Mclean is a pragmatic software engineer with a decade of experience building end-to-end systems for startups, large tech, and the U.S. Navy. He pairs hands-on full-stack development—database design, REST APIs, and SPA front ends—with a track record of turning cumbersome manual processes into reliable production tools, most notably a custom personnel management system for thousands of sailors. His recent roles include system UI work at Google ChromeOS, and engineering stints at Meta, Bloomberg, and YC-backed Gordian, showing comfort across scale and product stages. Angus thrives on problem definition as much as implementation, often learning new technologies mid-project to deliver durable solutions. Based in San Jose, he brings leadership shaped by military responsibility and a collaborative drive to own problems end-to-end. Notably, he prefers framing challenges as opportunities, which has repeatedly earned stakeholder trust to ship impactful internal systems.
