Senior🎓
Top SchoolFred Ngo is a senior consulting engineer and educator with a background spanning startup CTO roles, chip design, and 14+ years in hands-on software instruction. He excels at taking concepts from prototype to production—particularly backend architecture, DevOps, and scalable Rails-based systems—and has led teams, automated deployments across cloud fleets, and cut hosting costs while improving performance. As founder/CTO of an acquired startup and a long-time consultant, he offers CTO-level advice, technical due diligence, and developer training, and currently teaches interview prep and full-stack curricula at CodePath and General Assembly. His career mixes low-level engineering experience (microchip design, VHDL/C/C++) with modern web ops, giving him a rare cross-domain perspective on reliability and system design. Based in Old Toronto, he’s available for flexible consulting engagements and can mobilize small teams for rapid MVP delivery.
