Glen Ihrig is a seasoned CTO in Burbank who has built product and infrastructure end-to-end for iCrumz, guiding the platform from a Java/Spring production system to a modern, isomorphic all‑JavaScript architecture. A pragmatic technologist, he favors language mastery over heavy frameworks to maximize readability, maintainability and minimal development overhead while managing everything from server provisioning and certificates to modular client/server design. His career traces back to building a processor and writing machine and assembly code in the 1980s, which informs his low‑level practicality today as he works full‑stack in Node.js, React/Redux and studies Rust/WASM. He also contributes to open‑source—helping update dependencies and fix i18n issues in the widely used react‑boilerplate—bringing a focus on correctness and developer experience.
