Summary
Chirag Patel is a seasoned technology leader and fractional CTO with over two decades building mission-driven digital products spanning senior health wearables, patient education tablets, political campaign platforms, and enterprise telecom systems. He blends hands-on engineering (embedded, full-stack, data pipelines) with product strategy—repeatedly turning prototypes into scalable launches, acquisitions, and rapid commercial growth. As a founder and early-stage CTO he has scaled teams from single digits to 40 engineers, re-architected monoliths into service-oriented systems, and introduced robust analytics and data warehouses to drive product decisions. Recent consulting work spans AI model vetting and hands-on fine-tuning, microservice and data-pipeline designs, and rapid feature delivery for healthcare-focused products. Known for clear communication, lean validation, and stakeholder workshops, he often focuses on HIPAA-safe, high-impact health use cases that balance clinical needs with user empathy. Based in New York, he pairs deep systems experience (from embedded C++ to Rails, Python, React, Snowflake) with a persistent social mission around improving patient outcomes.
