Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCory King is a founder and seasoned software leader with 12 years of experience building engineering systems, product strategy, and data-driven solutions from startup to enterprise scale. He created Blue Taka to turn opaque retail transactions into itemized, categorized spending insights by extracting receipts from major retailers and generating precise split instructions for financial tools. Previously he led identity and billing initiatives at Indeed, improving authentication at scale and fixing critical enterprise billing flows, and has shipped high-availability backend and deployment systems at companies like Cozi and Microsoft. Cory blends hardcore engineering chops with product management and analytics, comfortable architecting systems that handle billions of requests while keeping the user-facing “why” front and center. Based in Seattle with an MBA from UW Foster, he’s equally at home as a hands-on builder or strategic PM and is open to contract or full-time roles that need both technical depth and product sensitivity. An uncommon strength: he designs solutions that translate messy, real-world data (receipts, logs, transactions) into actionable product features people actually use.
