Gabe Koss is a software consultant and engineer with 13 years of experience building products that span backend systems, front-end React applications, robotics autonomy, and security-focused tooling. Based in Montpelier, Vermont, he offers fractional CTO services and hands-on development for startups and non-technical founders, frequently taking projects from prototype to MVP. His background includes leading engineering teams and product overhauls at Pwnie Express, where he helped release influential open-source security tooling, and more recently developing navigation, SLAM, and computer vision features in C++ for robotics. Gabe bridges high-level product strategy with low-level implementation, comfortable moving between Rails, React, Clojure, and embedded/C++ stacks. He brings a pragmatic security mindset to design and delivery, informed by years of conference talks and field deployments. Fluent in Japanese and experienced in international collaboration, he combines technical depth with cross-cultural communication.
