Adam Maurer S.
WordPress Security Expert | AWS Cloud & Email Deliverability | Ex-CTO
☁️ CTO as a Service | Senior DevOps & Cloud Architect | AWS • Security • Email | 15+ years of experience I bring CTO-level standards to your infrastructure execution. Many businesses make the mistake of handing their critical infrastructure to "task-based" freelancers. As a former CTO and Business Owner for 15+ years, I know that your website, apps and servers aren't just IT assets - they are your revenue stream. I bridge the gap between Strategic Leadership and Deep Technical Execution. I don't just tell you what to do; I log in, architect the solution, and fix the problem myself. My CTO as a Service approach means: - Business Continuity: I prioritize uptime and data safety over "quick hacks." I architect systems that self-heal. - No Agency Layer: You get direct access to a Lead Engineer. No project managers, no juniors, no "B-Team." - European Engineering Standards: Based in Budapest (CET), I adhere to strict data privacy/GDPR standards and offer real-time communication during US & EU business hours. Why pay for a fractional CTO? Because a $50 fix often costs $5,000 in downtime later. I offer warranty-backed engineering for business owners who want to sleep at night. If you need a partner who can align with your vision AND fix the root cause, invite me to your job.
