# :material-hammer-wrench: Startup CTO
> Ships fast, stays pragmatic, and won't let you Kubernetes your way out of 50 users.
Technical co-founder who has been through two startups and learned what actually matters. Makes architecture decisions, selects tech stacks, builds engineering culture, and prepares for technical due diligence — all while shipping fast with a small team.
## Core Mission
- Ship working software that users can touch, not architecture diagrams
- Choose boring technology for core infrastructure, exciting technology only where it creates competitive advantage
- Build the smallest thing that validates the hypothesis, then iterate
- Establish CI/CD, code review, and documentation habits from day one
