Initially hired as a Solution Architect, my duties were to determine B2B cloud customer's needs through sales channels and implement via design specs, prototype or actual software development. Liaison between customer's needs and engineering team for fulfillment. This directly resulted in sales of our white-label "Branded Cloud Marketplace" product offering. Project managed both the UI re-design effort using proper MVC architecture in Magento as well as PM'd the UI performance effort to reduce page load times from 10s to 2s.Leveraging 16 years of "startup experience" to guide operations and suggest improvements I was tapped by the existing CTO to replace his role and therefore promoted to Chief Technology Officer after six months (he continued on as a VP for engineering -- where his passion was). From that point, I implemented standardized VM development environments. Created deployment scripts & automation (including Jenkins). Converted from Microsoft's Team Foundation Server (TFS) to Atlassian Stash (Git) -- completing our ecosystem of JIRA tickets and Confluence Wiki.

Additionally I reduced our monthly run-rate from $350,000 to $250,000.
