Summary
Brian Kueck is a seasoned Sr. Web Developer with nearly three decades of hands-on experience designing and shipping high-traffic, performance-focused web applications across media, enterprise, and government clients. He blends front-end craftsmanship (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, responsive/SVG work) with back-end architecture and DevOps experience, and pairs technical delivery with management roles as a Technical Director and mentor. Brian built and maintains his own search engine, Clomp, including a crawler that has indexed over 1.5 million URLs—an active personal project he uses to keep skills sharp between engagements. His career includes measurable impact: page-load improvements (45s to ~1s), CPU usage reductions on cron systems, and extensive refactoring and componentization at companies like Fox, NBCUniversal, Experian, and Raytheon. He also brings creative design skills from Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and early 3D modeling training in Maya, which inform his UI-focused engineering. Based in Greater St. Louis, Brian is a pragmatic problem-solver who thrives on optimizing performance and mentoring teams while delivering production-grade web systems.
