Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Mclerran is a founder and software engineer in the DFW area with 11 years of hands-on experience blending end-user IT support, QA leadership, and product-focused development. He builds practical tooling and has independently created ecosystem-shaping open-source work—most recently an ISO 8601 date-time package and a CLI/TUI initializer for the Roc language—while contributing fixes and features upstream. Ian pairs agile delivery for paying customers (web and Android apps that reached hundreds of users across 20 countries) with internal automation that reduced manual QA and inventory burden in food production environments. His background in quality control and machine operation gives him an uncommon perspective on building reliable, testable systems that meet regulatory and operational constraints. Currently splitting time between founding IFM Innovations and evaluating AI outputs as an AI Training Data Specialist, he brings both entrepreneurial drive and thoughtful product validation to engineering challenges.
