Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorin Ilie is a hands-on fractional CTO and founder with 20+ years building and scaling production web platforms, specializing in open-source LAMP/LEMP stacks and AWS-native architectures. He co-founded and led LeadPile from startup to acquisition, then spent a decade architecting and operating large education and martech platforms (SpearEducation, CerecDoctors, WebsitesPros, FirmPlus) where he combines product strategy with day-to-day engineering. He partners with founder-led businesses ($1M–$20M revenue) to provide co-founder-level technical leadership without the full-time cost, often starting engagements with a two-week technical audit. Technically fluent across PHP (Laravel), Python, Node, modern front-end libraries (Vue, React, Alpine), and databases (MySQL/Postgres), he still writes production code when it’s the fastest path to results. Trilingual and AWS certified, he’s built end-to-end systems solo—WebsitesPros is both a commercial product and proof-of-work for his fractional practice—bringing pragmatic trade-off decision-making and a recruitment/mentorship track record to every engagement.
