Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Adams is a seasoned software leader and co-founder/CTO with 14 years of experience turning product ideas into production systems, currently building location-based mar-tech at Ground Signal. He blends hands-on engineering, product vision, and team-building—having served as interim CTO for startups, led engineering during rapid growth, and architected the PubFactory platform later acquired by O’Reilly. Comfortable across web and mobile stacks, Dan has a track record of creating engineering processes, mentoring tech leads, and establishing offshore partnerships to scale teams effectively. His background spans enterprise publishing, education, and consumer brands, working with clients from Oxford University Press to Adidas. Based in Boston, he pairs an MS in Computer Science with a pragmatic, creative approach to building beautiful, useful products. A less obvious strength: he repeatedly moves between deep technical execution and strategic startup roles, bridging code-level delivery with investor-facing product definition.
