Wesley L.
Fractional CTO / Engineering Director — delivery & architecture
30 years in software. I take fractional CTO, Engineering Director, and senior delivery-consulting seats: stand up the org, set the roadmap, and own outcomes. Leadership: Senior Engineering Manager at ScienceLogic / Skylar AI — grew a 9-person AI org to 30, stood up a delivery model, took two products to GA on SaaS and on-prem. Director of Platform at Drizly (7 teams / 95 people). SEM at Lenovo TruScale ($200M+ as-a-service). Service Engineering Manager at Microsoft. Part-time CTO at LinksRez (flagship product used to raise $1M) and Director of Development at Ivee. How I work: hire and mentor leaders, cut work that does not map to goals, and ship through architecture and platform decisions on SaaS, data, and cloud systems (.NET, Java/Spring, React/Next.js, AWS, Postgres/Mongo). Recent consulting: backend SaaS for a product team, MongoDB/platform advisory, and scoping a Next.js/Postgres CRM against a live repo. If you need an engineering org stood up, a platform unblocked, or a fractional technical leader in the room — that is the engagement.
