“The Business CTO”, an 11-year CTO tech entrepreneur and 13-year Business Analyst with a focus on rapid MVP creation for businesses. Built 15 business-level MVPs solo, including a project delivered in 2 weeks that a company failed to build for $500K. Led design and development of over 300 software solutions, specializing in solving complex problems with high-value impact. Built TRUEclaims, a software that an Auto Adjuster spent 15 years trying to develop. Before meeting me, he went through 19 software companies, all of which said it was impossible, one of which wanted to charge him $1M to attempt to build it with no timeline provided. I built a working version in less than 1.5 months. Some MVPs built: TRUEclaims Trucker Matcher (~2 weeks to MVP) Partner Rally (~2 weeks to MVP) Lead Bridge (~5 days to MVP) Amazon Product Search/Filter (~2 weeks to MVP) Easy Work Orders (~3 days to MVP) Real Estate Showcase (~2 weeks to MVP) Community Helper (~4 days to MVP) COVID-19 Marketplace (~3 weeks to MVP) Commercial Real Estate CRM (~2 weeks to MVP) U10K - Uber For Freight (~3 weeks to MVP) I’ve also been selling over a decade, particularly Tech Sales, and have closed many deals and onboarded well over 100 customers. Things I can advise on: ✔️ How to build MVPs with the right scope ✔️ How to sell tech/software so your tech team doesn’t hate you ✔️ Scaling business through automation ✔️ Business-level MVP development ✔️ How to design a software product to actually solve customer problems ✔️ Early-stage product validation ✔️ How to manage a CTO/CEO relationship ✔️ Software project management
