Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGlen Ihrig is a seasoned CTO and full-stack JavaScript advocate with over a decade of experience building production web applications and end-to-end infrastructure. He founded and built iCrumz from server provisioning and DNS/security to two platform generations, moving from Java/Spring to a modern isomorphic Node.js architecture. Educated in digital electronics and programming since the 1980s, Glen brings rare low-level hardware and assembly experience alongside contemporary expertise in Node.js, React, Redux, Riot.js, Webpack and server-side JavaScript. He prefers mastering a single language over framework lock-in, favoring readability, maintainability and minimal complexity in modular architectures. An active contributor to mature projects like react-boilerplate, he focuses on dependency hygiene and practical bug fixes that improve developer experience. Curious and hands-on, Glen is currently exploring Rust and WASM to augment web apps with high-performance components.
