👨‍💻 A Fractional CTO who codes. I both organize reliable cost-efficient software development and solve technical problems saving immense amounts of time & money. As I'm also good with infrastructure, I'm capable of replacing 4 high-paid tech roles ad hoc: Manager/Product Owner, Team Lead, Dev, and DevOps/Infra Engineer.I specialize in these technologies:✔️ .NET / MS Stack;✔️ JavaScript / React.js;✔️ Cloud / DevOps / Azure / Google Cloud Platform.But really... having 20 years of development under my belt, I used it all: Python, Ruby, PHP, PowerShell, C++, etc, and if I didn't I might be able to just start using it in a day. If anything above looks relevant, you can borrow my expertise to make a difference on your project.📌 My direct & indirect clients include dozens of companies, including 2 FAAMG names and a three-letter company starting with "I". https://www.redpill.solutions
