Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Cookerly is a seasoned software engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience delivering full-stack web applications, specializing in the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node) and modern JavaScript tooling. He has a track record of owning projects end-to-end—from RAD-driven prototypes to production deployments, training, and long-term support—bringing practical, business-focused solutions to small teams. Prior roles show deep expertise modernizing and automating legacy Office and VBA ecosystems (including C# VSTO add-ins and source-control integrations for the VBA IDE), enabling smoother migrations to .NET and git-based workflows. Richard’s background in utilities and enterprise environments taught him to balance reliability with rapid iteration, often converting risky manual processes into robust automated systems that saved significant time and cost. He pairs formal CS training and a Fullstack Academy certificate with hands-on ops experience, making him equally comfortable building responsive front-ends, relational schemas, and developer tooling. An interesting through-line: he frequently bridges old and new tech, turning entrenched Excel/SharePoint solutions into maintainable, version-controlled software.
