Summary
🤩
RockstarLance Mccarthy is a seasoned developer and engineering leader with 11+ years driving developer tooling and technical support for Progress, where he manages Americas support for Telerik, Kendo UI, Test Studio and Sitefinity with a focus on product security, AI development, and strategic enablement. A decade-long Microsoft MVP recipient, he blends hands-on back-end work—such as implementing chunked file uploads and migrating .NET services to .NET 6—with team leadership that produces docs, demos, and KBs to empower global developer communities. He teaches and mentors beyond the office, having taught at Harvard and Boston University, and has an early hackathon-winning background that fuels continual hands-on exploration. Comfortable across the stack, Lance pairs operational rigor with developer empathy to turn complex support challenges into scalable processes and product improvements. Off-hours he experiments with “mad scientist” side projects and maintains a full nerdy networking lab at his mountain home in Costa Rica, demonstrating a rare mix of practicality and curiosity.
