Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlvin Yates is a pragmatic CTO and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building teams, systems, and operational rigor across startups and scale-ups from San Leandro. As Co-Founder/CTO and former Sr. Engineering Manager at Aurora Solar, he has led hiring and org scaling, owned security/compliance and a $3M engineering budget, and personally delivered the company’s first data warehouse and BI stack. He’s skilled at turning ambiguous, cross-functional problems into production services—automating invoicing, launching IT service desks, and formalizing incident response and release controls. A hands-on manager who still ships code (and keeps a cat nearby), he combines platform engineering roots with product and GTM-facing technical ops, and has a history of creating reusable internal frameworks and open-source tooling. Notably, he blends financial and engineering stewardship, partnering with finance to align GL codes and reporting with engineering spend and outcomes.
