Vetted Chief Technology Officers

“Engineering leader with experience building point-of-care diagnostics platforms (IoT-connected PCR device delivering results in <15 minutes) and scaling multidisciplinary teams (55+). Has led major data/IoT architecture decisions (multi-cluster Kubernetes with secure routing; Kafka + Gobblin over MQTT) and runs execution with Agile roadmaps tightly aligned to GTM and senior leadership.”

“Entrepreneurially driven technical leader seeking to partner with a founder/business plan owner to provide technical expertise. Helped drive Wiser's expansion into Europe by evaluating acquisition targets' technical estates and making the recommendation that was chosen. Applied lean, high-leverage product thinking at Nabis on a two-sided marketplace, delivering buyer value with a simple algorithm and later adding paid boosting for brands.”

“Engineering leader (Octane) who drove business-aligned technology roadmaps and scaled a fully distributed engineering org from 35 to 150 in 9 months using a rigorous ownership model (OARP). Led a greenfield architecture for a new vertical (AWS Lambda/ECS, Python/JS/React) that delivered an MVP in 3 months while cutting per-service cloud OPEX from ~$300+ to ~$20/month, with 15+ years of remote-first leadership experience.”

“Fractional CTO supporting early-stage teams in the UAE and Ukraine to build platforms using an "Agentic OS" approach—one focused on reducing friction across patient/provider/payor engagement and another on enforcing transparency for international rebuilding investments to reduce fraud. Also exploring an alternative-energy feedstock plantation opportunity in Armenia with multi-industry downstream revenue potential; has created project-specific investor pitch decks and is actively engaging potential investors.”

“Unity Technologies engineer with direct Meta subcontract experience shipping Quest titles (Horizon Worlds projects like Super Rumble) and supporting third-party studios. Strong in VR performance optimization and modernization work—porting legacy OVR/older-Unity projects to OpenXR, URP, and hand-tracking inputs. Built a master’s dissertation cross-platform multiplayer FPS spanning Quest VR, PC, and mobile AR using Photon.”

“Senior Director-level engineering leader from Zelle who built a multi-year cloud and use-case expansion roadmap (e.g., SMB and brokerage funding) aligned to an aggressive growth target (from $1.2T to $5T in 5 years). Experienced scaling an engineering org from ~25–30 people into domain-driven pods and leading audit/compliance remediation (OCC, SOC 2, PCI) through security and infrastructure reengineering, including multi-region/multi-zone architecture.”

“Cofounder at MeowyAI who shipped a production multimodal (vision/voice/text) AI task manager using Gemini, tackling real-world issues like hallucinations, tool-calling safety, and RAG-based preference memory. Also built a production multi-agent RAG system orchestrated with LangGraph (and contributes to LangChain), with strong emphasis on latency optimization, observability (OpenTelemetry), and rigorous testing/evaluation including A/B tests and adversarial prompting.”

“Former Xendit (YC-backed fintech) operator applying outcome-driven, scalable product-building experience to a new startup: a real-time, personalized real estate investment intelligence platform. Has begun prototyping, completed ROI analysis, and validated the space with US market research plus broker interviews in Chicago and Los Angeles, aiming to differentiate from Zillow/Redfin with goal-based ranked investment recommendations.”

“Former multi-startup CTO with experience supporting successful capital raises and working directly with boards/investors. Known for implementing operational systems that reduce client escalations (e.g., a status/semaphore overview board) and for building UX-forward MVPs that evolve into automated platforms, including a loan underwriting system for a small US lender.”
