Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenji Visser is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with 11 years of experience building reliable, scalable systems and teams across startups and enterprise environments. Currently co-founder and CEO of Frontier HSA and convenor for TG3 standards on software lifecycles, he blends product-led entrepreneurship with infrastructure and compliance expertise. Previously a co-founder/CTO of a software-rot detection startup acquired in 2025, he has strong SRE chops from roles at Datadog and Ada where he built org-wide service catalogs, incident tooling, and compliance programs (GDPR, PIPEDA, PCI DSS). Comfortable moving between hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and advisory fCTO work, he’s also experienced in high-pressure operational roles dating back to the oilfield—an unconventional background that informs his calm, pragmatic approach to outages and system design. Based in Ontario, Canada, he pairs practical cloud-native experience with an interest in standardizing software end-of-life practices.
