Summary
CJ Visser is a founder and CEO with over a decade building and scaling bespoke software products that drive rapid business growth while maintaining strong security and compliance. He leads an international team at Bluebird Development, delivering end-to-end solutions—from architecture and integration to ML-enabled analytics—for clients ranging from banks to healthcare startups, and has sustained 100% year-on-year revenue growth. As a hands-on engineer and former CTO of a data-focused startup, he combines full-stack fluency (React, .NET, Python, Scala, TensorFlow) with pragmatic product design, including innovative WhatsApp-based data collection and high-throughput payment integrations. CJ’s background in maths and self-driving car/full-stack nanodegrees complements his systems thinking and propensity for non-traditional technical approaches, such as launching products in highly regulated environments. He is equally comfortable negotiating commercial agreements and writing production code, consistently delivering measurable outcomes in months rather than years.
