CTO with 14+ years building platforms and leading operations. Started as a sysadmin, grew into leadership by shipping systems that actually worked. ERP migrations with zero downtime. Warehouse automation that tripled productivity. Cloud infrastructure that cut overhead 80%.
Built integrations for everything from legacy AS/400 systems to modern microservices. Implemented AI automation using Claude API. Contributed upstream to open source projects, including the Gleam compiler and RenovateBot. Led cross-functional teams through the messy reality of keeping a business running while modernizing everything underneath it.
Looking for CTO/VP/Director roles at companies building real things: ecommerce, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, SaaS. I thrive where technology enables operations, not just for its own sake. Comfortable being hands-on when needed, strategic when required. I've built teams, driven revenue growth, and owned business outcomes - not just shipped code.
If you need someone who understands both the tech stack and the business stack, let's talk.

Over the 5 years of my career I mostly worked with Elixir and JavaScript (Node.js, React) but I feel comfortable in Python as well. I like learning new stuff especially when it makes sense for the project — over the years, I’ve picked up different tools and stacks as needed. I’m looking for a place where I can take ownership, keep learning, and contribute to a product and a team I believe in. I'd prefer to keep working with Elixir but I'm open to other technologies as well

Remote: Yes (Remote or Hybrid, EU Timezone)
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: [Deep Learning] PyTorch, TensorFlow, MLFlow; [Languages] Python, C, C++; [Infrastructure] AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB.
I'm a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 10+ years of R&D. My core expertise is Deep Learning Model Development and Pipeline Engineering, taking specialized models from concept to reliable output.
My recent work spans Computer Vision (traffic scenario analysis, SLAM, skin deformation analysis) and Generative Audio (speech synthesis focused on naturalness, novel voice generation, and controllability/editability).
I understand the full ML lifecycle, from novel research to scalable, cloud-ready API deployments. Seeking hands-on Senior-level roles and Lead positions to drive innovative model development. As Head of ML R&D (3 years), work included model development, AWS deployment, and rapid prototyping of LLM/GenAI applications for demos, all very hands-on along with a team of 10.
Background: PhD & Master's in Music Technology and Audio-Haptic Robotics (McGill).

Background: 25 years of tech. If there's a job done in or around IT, I've done it and done it well. I started with dumb terminal migrations and build world-class databases today. As I like to say, I know the whole data stack from "Silicon to SQL". Lately, I've specialized in building amazing engineers. If you need an amazing team of engineers (think NASA or SpaceX) over a team of amazing engineers (think Justice League or Avengers), then I am the leader you need!

Resume: LinkedIn -- https://www.linkedin.com/in/wcunning
Email: wdocunningham \@\ gmail.com
Background: Masters in control theory and signal processing, working in the auto industry for the last 7 years, first on low level powertrain software then the last year or so on LIDAR/computer vision for autonomous vehicles. I've done the most work in C, but I'm now contributing to safety development work with the Rust consortium and Ferrous Systems through my current employer. Recently had to read the Linux kernel source and use the BCC tool suite to find a subtle issue in the network stack causing high latency on sensor data for AV, also coincidentally fixed most of the network timing infrastructure.
Currently doing software defined vehicle software architecture with a focus on fail-safe and fail-operational, loosely coupled, distributed systems. This includes some standards contributions and work with high level suppliers like Nvidia and Renesas for next-generation software/hardware system co-development.
Primary skills include hard real time embedded systems, safety critical applications, firmware development, system integration and complex hardware/software interaction debugging, along with detailed data analysis problems.
Side interests include machining, 3D printing, embedded system development, coffee roasting and furniture making.
