Summary
👤
SeniorChad Neff is a seasoned full-stack engineer and inventor with over a decade of experience building products from greenfield prototypes through MVP to production, most recently focusing on React, TypeScript and Node-based solutions. He’s shipped numerous consumer and platform features across Microsoft and GoDaddy, and holds multiple patents—regularly called out as an inventor in reviews. As an individual contributor he excels at architecting extensible frameworks (runtime-transpiling sandboxes, React HOC experimentation tools, recursive plugin resolvers) that empower cross-team experimentation and faster delivery. He enjoys pairing-style interviewing to quickly assess engineering skill with small, revealing projects and is known for rapid, efficient coding. Currently on sabbatical exploring discovery, innovation and AI agents, he combines deep legacy experience (Apple II to ANSI-C) with modern webGL and agent experiments. He prefers Linux-first stacks, loves learning new tech, and brings hands-on leadership that grows people while staying squarely technical.
