Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Mcewen is a seasoned technology leader with 14 years of hands-on experience building and scaling SaaS and manufacturing systems, currently serving as Vice President of Technology at JointCraft. He combines deep full-stack engineering (notably Elixir/Phoenix and Rails) with operational grit—having led infrastructure overhauls, ERP deployments, and in-house IoT and labeling systems at large cannabis manufacturing facilities. As a founding engineer turned executive, he’s balanced heavy technical contribution with hiring, vendor negotiation, and high-stakes SEV1 decision making through two successful startup exits. He’s pragmatic about trade-offs: driving $100k+ annual savings by replacing vendor systems with proprietary digital batch records and refactoring tech debt into scalable solutions. Passionate about customer-first design, Evan is now integrating custom AI agents into data workflows to reduce manual work and surface better decision data for operators and clients. Based in Old Toronto, he brings a rare blend of manufacturing-floor IoT experience and cloud-native web architecture.
