Strategic Advisor
United States
Summary
👤
SeniorCassandra Wilcox is a pragmatic full-stack founding engineer and strategic advisor with 14 years of experience helping early-stage startups ship high-velocity, capital-efficient products. She moves founders from perfectionism to progress—running hands-on MVP builds, codebase audits, and product-to-market roadmaps that favor learning-driven iterations over over-engineered solutions. Cassandra has acted as CTO or fractional technical lead across fintech and marketplace startups, delivering production-ready web apps in weeks and contributing to fundraising and ARR growth. Her work blends serverless architectures, infrastructure-as-code, and pragmatic integrations (e.g., HubSpot) to accelerate speed-to-revenue while keeping costs low. She offers short, tactical "Ship It" sessions for solo builders and scales into full engineering leadership as companies mature. A former JavaScript instructor turned startup CTO, she pairs empathetic coaching with relentless delivery discipline.
