Richard Mcneary is a Principal Consultant and hands-on software engineer with over 11 years of experience building and modernizing web and desktop applications, from C#/.NET native integrations to React single-page apps and Node.js services. He combines practical engineering—demonstrated by contributions to the widely used CefSharp project adding C++/C# focus-event handling—with client-facing leadership at Bitovi, where he advises on architecture, staffing, and developer practices. Comfortable across the stack, he emphasizes pragmatic design, attention to detail, and mentoring teams to raise their craft while avoiding tool dogma. Based in Webster, NY, he brings a product-minded approach shaped by long tenure at Kodak Alaris and Omni-ID, translating complex hardware and imaging requirements into robust software. His early love of Lego still shows in his preference for composable, maintainable systems and thoughtful engineering trade-offs.
