Edward Romano is a founding principal engineer and founder with 11 years of professional engineering experience who blends startup grit with enterprise-grade discipline across Python, Java, AWS, and full-stack development. He has led technical teams and built core systems from Lockheed Martin’s cyber and cloud R&D projects through senior roles at SOCURE, Capital One, and tech leadership at ThinkNimble. Now launching and advising products via Oudeis while shaping Datalinx AI’s technical vision, he specializes in translating ambiguous product goals into production-ready architectures. Comfortable as a fractional CTO and hands-on implementer, he pairs deep systems experience with a track record of shipping analytics, security, and visualization platforms. Based in Rockville, MD, he brings uncommon cross-domain experience—from being employee #1 at a scaleup to steering multi-million-dollar proposals—making him equally effective as a coach, builder, and strategic technologist.
