Summary
Richard Boneff-peng is a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of experience helping early-stage startups and growth-stage teams scale engineering practices, infrastructure, and developer productivity. He combines hands-on implementation—building Backstage developer portals, ephemeral Kubernetes environments, CI/CD migrations from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, and service bootstrappers—with architecture advisory work and pragmatic cost optimization. At Clearcover he led platform initiatives that reduced release friction and surfaced operational metrics (DORA) into a single pane of glass, while also crafting tooling like TypeScript GitHub Actions and Lambdas to improve observability. Comfortable across Ruby on Rails, Kotlin microservices, Go, and TypeScript, he pairs full-stack fluency with an eye for developer experience and measurable engineering outcomes. Based in Ann Arbor, he’s known for turning complex operational challenges into repeatable, documented processes that accelerate team onboarding and reduce production incidents.
