Summary
Colin McCloskey is a hands-on, people-first Director of Software Engineering with 14 years building and scaling web and data platforms across healthcare, insurance, and finance. He combines deep technical leadership—from site reliability and architecture to full-stack product delivery—with a proven talent for mentoring teams, realigning org structure, and creating compensation and hiring strategies that improve retention. At Arcweb he led the design of the Arcwell platform that sped custom builds by multiple sprints and enabled non-technical admins to manage clinical data schemas, and he has supported mission-critical systems at Gusto and CNET. A pragmatic founder and consultant earlier in his career, Colin has shipped high-volume consumer and enterprise systems (including products scaled to millions of users) and holds patents for collaboration-focused email systems. Based in Philadelphia, he balances strategic vision with day-to-day engineering work—and, as his GitHub bio hints, brings a grounded, slightly quirky “bearded computery nerd” sensibility to leadership.
