Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrent Lintner is a seasoned software leader and founder with 16 years of experience turning ideas into market-ready products and de-risking technology for funded startups. As Co-Founder and Head of Technology & Product at StepStone and founder of Forthright, he blends hands-on engineering—MVP builds, rewrites, and custom ML/AI systems—with strategic product, regulatory, and IP work to accelerate launches. His track record includes scaling a university project into tinyHippos (acquired by BlackBerry), building FolliSight’s end-to-end image recognition stack, and rescuing legacy systems into modern, high-performing assets. Comfortable across Python, Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, Flutter and backend services, he often steps in as a fractional CTO to provide clear roadmaps, CI/CD, and team-building that deliver predictable outcomes. Based in Kitchener-Waterloo, he’s active in the local Builders Club ecosystem, combining entrepreneurial grit with a knack for shipping pragmatic, ROI-driven solutions. An uncommon strength: he routinely handles both the corporate pieces—incorporation, regulatory strategy, IP—and the nitty-gritty engineering needed to make products ship.
