Summary
Euan Millar is a pragmatic technology leader with nine years of engineering and architecture experience and more than a decade building mission-driven digital products. As CTO of OpenCRVS he has scaled an open-source civil registration platform from prototype to live national implementations, combining microservices, FHIR interoperability, ElasticSearch and time-series analytics to protect legal identity for millions. He blends hands-on full-stack development in TypeScript/Node and React with cloud-native DevOps (Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Azure) and security-first practices, including ISO27001 alignment and UK government–grade penetration testing. Euan has led remote, cross-cultural teams and transformed legacy systems into maintainable, lower-TCO architectures for fintech and clean-energy initiatives in Africa. His background in creative technology and teaching informs a user-centred approach to technical design and an ability to deliver pragmatic solutions in constrained-resource contexts. Unusually for a CTO, he pairs large-scale system design with field-level projects like long-distance WiFi and OpenCellular deployments that bring connectivity to underserved communities.
