Summary
Aaron Holbrook is a founder and seasoned software leader with over a decade of experience stabilizing and scaling the core systems businesses run—order platforms, clinical systems, and ecommerce back-ends. He built and led engineering teams from senior developer to CTO, driving platforms that processed $6B+ in orders and a product line that generated 75% of a company’s revenue. Aaron specializes in rescuing orphaned systems, replacing spreadsheet chaos with sustainable tooling, and connecting silos so leaders can make faster, data-driven decisions. He pairs hands-on engineering with pragmatic AI applications—document processing, internal assistants, and automation—focused on real workflows, not hype. A longtime mentor who has hired and coached dozens of engineers, he runs StreamForge as a one-person technical leadership alternative for companies that need senior judgment without a full-time executive. Based in Illinois, he’s known for deep business fluency, direct client partnerships, and handing off durable systems so teams can run independently.
