Chris Grey is a founder and advisory CTO with 20+ years of experience rescuing and hardening technical stacks for high-growth e-commerce and digital operations. He specializes in moving businesses from brittle prototypes—Shopify apps, Zapier flows, and unmanaged AI/low-code automations—into robust, auditable infrastructure that supports the next 5x of scale. Chris offers Systems Integrity Audits, 90-day architecture blueprints, and fractional CTO oversight that deliver practical ROI without full-time executive overhead. His background spans enterprise CTO roles and hands-on platform builds, from middleware for multi-channel retail to security- and cost-optimized platform migrations. Based in Central Florida, he’s known for treating technical debt as an operational risk rather than a development problem, removing “shadow IT” and silent failure points. An unusual detail: his early training in audio engineering informs a systems-thinking approach—tuning complex signal paths into coherent, high-integrity pipelines.
