Seasoned startup CTO reporting to duty, with hands-on experience of building tech products and services since 2010.I am addicted to working on digital products, helping founders and businesses accomplish their mission with the use of the right technology and practices. I like to actively participate in shaping a product from its inception and assembling not just the code, but successful engineering teams.PromoTailor is one of the most recent products we’ve launched. It's the solution that helps distributors achieve a holistic view of their promotional campaigns by allowing them to create, track, and manage promotions effortlessly on a single platform. This helps maximize profits through real-time control and visibility, reduce waste, prevent losses, and achieve operational efficiency.Besides this, I’ve been lucky enough to work in many verticals and domains, the most recent ones being: FinTech, IoT, EdTech, AdTech, Blockchain/Crypto and Automotive.As far as technology goes, I have most hands-on experience with Java and GoLang, many relational and non-relational databases, all major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP). Even though I’ve worked in technical leadership roles for the most recent years, I’ve always been keen on nurturing my coding skills and even have some open source contributions, which can be found on my GitHub profile (@matelang).I regularly speak at local and international conferences about technology and sometimes act as an external auditor and trainer for companies wanting to enhance their way they build software. I have also been a part time university lab professor, teaching distributed systems.One of my most appreciated non-technical qualities, is my capacity to speak on and explain technology, regardless of the audience and its digital nativity. The fact that I am an extrovert, social person, certainly helps.I am a big believer of remote work, I’ve been successfully working remotely for many years, even recruited remote-first and remote-only teams for our own and client’s products. Reach out and I will help you build your next tech product or team.
