Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArlo Belshee is a seasoned CTO and Distinguished Engineer with 25+ years turning messy legacy codebases into high-velocity, low-defect engineering organizations. He has led transformations that scaled startups from single digits to 60 people, re-architected systems across millions of lines of code for organizations of up to 1,000 developers, and delivered measurable outcomes like a $500M annual savings and 99.9% fewer defects. Comfortable shipping code across languages and platforms, he pairs hands-on refactoring and architecture work with coaching that reduced senior regrettable attrition by 80% and accelerated new-hire ramp time from months to weeks. At companies from Microsoft and Tableau to Sunquest and Eolus.ai he combined XP and CI practices to move teams from annual to continuous delivery in months. He focuses on measurable technical efficiency, culture-building, and mentorship, helping teams release at will while preserving engineering joy. Based in Asheville, NC, he’s as likely to teach refactoring in a training room as to lead a company-wide architecture pivot without slowing feature delivery.
