Available to hire
I’m Cody McCulloch, a software engineer and tech founder with 15+ years of experience building production web applications across e-commerce, multi-tenant SaaS, and CMS platforms. I co-founded a fintech startup and built a multi-tenant point-of-sale platform with payment processing from scratch. My main stack is TypeScript, React, and Node.js, with PHP still in regular use for WordPress work. I’ve led teams, designed RBAC access systems, admin dashboards, and responsive UIs across hundreds of projects. I ship fast, fix things quickly, and care about getting it right.
I’m passionate about building scalable platforms, migrating legacy stacks to modern TypeScript/React/Node ecosystems, and delivering robust CI/CD and testing pipelines. I enjoy turning complex requirements into maintainable code and collaborating with product and design to ship features that matter.

Software Developer at Ventana Construction Corporation
July 5, 2021 - March 31, 2026• Built a full-stack project management platform from scratch covering multiple user types including internal staff, external contractors,
and owners. Scaled from 20+ to 200+ modules used daily by the full Ventana staff.
• Built external user access with record-level scoping and field redaction. Internal cost and contract data had to be invisible to trades and
owners, so the access controls had to account for every way data could leak between users.
• Handled the full migration of the original Ember.js and Sails.js platform into a modern TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL stack
with zero downtime, both systems running simultaneously until cutover. Added React Query for client-side caching, request
deduplication, and prefetching.
• GitHub Actions CI/CD on push to main, E2E testing with Playwright, unit tests with Vitest. Bug reports dropped 60%; most fixes shipped
within an hour.
• Built an MCP server, an AI chatbot, and a predictive risk detection feature using LLM analysis of field reports to flag potential project
issues early.
