Vetted Vice President of Engineerings in the Greater Seattle

“Has experience in several VC-backed companies and is motivated by early-stage company building—especially the fast pace of early engineering and cross-functional "wearing many hats" as a startup grows. Some exposure to investors through prior roles, though has not fundraised directly; familiar with VC and has read about accelerators like Y Combinator.”

“Former CTO/CTPO with hands-on experience supporting co-founders through pre-seed to Series B fundraising, including investor technical due diligence and architecture deep-dives. In a logistics company, led a customer-interview-driven effort applying AI and workflow tools that cut customer busywork by ~30% in the first iteration, and has experience planning delivery with onshore/offshore teams (LATAM/India).”

Seattle, WA35y exp

“Engineering leader with experience at Replenium, Savo Group, Radnet, and MatricOne, focused on business-aligned roadmaps and transparent, servant-style leadership. Notable for scaling teams quickly (18→36 in 6 months) and resolving high-impact performance incidents by leveraging DevOps data (reframed a suspected memory leak as a memory spike). Has led pragmatic build-vs-buy architecture decisions (waiting for a Microsoft transaction server) and uses Agile/CI/CD practices to drive consistent delivery.”

“Executive/engineering leader with 18+ years at an established company who helped turn a top-3 telco data opportunity into meaningful revenue and a continuing partnership to launch new data-driven products. Brings a security/privacy-first approach (compliance assessments and documentation) and a structured North Star + technical planning method for building with limited resources; interested in joining an early-stage founding journey with the right vision and team.”
