Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Mcelhaney is an Enterprise Architect with 17 years of hands-on and leadership experience improving engineering productivity by fixing the systems around how software gets built. He repeatedly steps into stalled programs across retail, healthcare, fintech, and enterprise software to remove friction—aligning ownership, modernizing tooling, and shortening feedback loops to get teams unstuck. Notable outcomes include saving ~24,000 pharmacy technician hours per year, preventing a licensing risk across ~8,000 stores, and boosting development efficiency by ~90% with a shared design system. Creator of Counterfact (counterfact.dev), he blends practical open-source tooling for API simulation with experiments in AI-assisted “augmented intelligence” to speed development without sacrificing guardrails. Comfortable both as an individual contributor (front-end engineering and design systems) and a director-level leader, he builds communities of practice and influences CIO/CISO-level decisions to change how large organizations work. Based in Raleigh, NC, he’s seeking Director/Senior Director roles focused on engineering productivity, platforms, or transformation.
