Richard Bateman is a Lead Software Architect with 18 years of hands-on experience building cross-platform systems, reusable tooling, and resilient backend services. He has deep expertise in C/C++, OO JavaScript, Node.js, MongoDB and SQL, and has driven architecture and implementation work from browser plugins (author of FireBreath) to heavy JavaScript stacks and mobile JNI integrations at GradeCam. A pragmatic problem-solver, he focuses on preventing needless reinvention by creating reusable frameworks and improving developer ergonomics, evidenced by contributions to high-profile open-source projects like Mongoose and FireBreath. He founded HamStudy.org to apply intelligent spaced-repetition learning to amateur radio study, reflecting a blend of product thinking and technical craft. Comfortable in roles that span hands-on coding, project management, docs and ops, he also brings practical hardware and network design experience and an operator’s mindset (callsign KD7BBC).
