Summary
👤
SeniorRichard Allen is a founder and seasoned SRE/full-stack engineer with 14 years of experience building and operating web platforms across enterprise and government clients from New York. He architects end-to-end delivery pipelines and cloud-native deployments using Docker, Kubernetes and major providers (Azure, AWS, IBM), and has led DevOps teams to productionize PHP/Drupal workloads on Kubernetes. Equally fluent in modern JavaScript tooling, Richard calls himself a “dark sorcerer of Webpack and Babel” and regularly builds with Node, React and Electron while contributing as a Drupal technical advisor. His consulting practice spans Drupal, JAMstack and microservices, with hands-on POCs for Solr on Azure Containers and MFA via Auth0—where he helped steer community ownership of a deprecated module. He’s pragmatic about developer experience, having evangelized Alpine Linux and designed CI/CD improvements at Johnson & Johnson, and brings a disciplined, cross-cloud perspective shaped by both corporate and federal projects. Outside work he’s a family-focused technologist who balances deep tooling expertise with practical delivery.
