Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGerald M is an experienced technology leader and advisory CTO based in New York with over a decade of hands-on success across startups and large enterprises, from embedded devices to massive distributed systems. He specializes in turning legacy codebases into scalable products, leading business turnarounds, and shaping roadmaps for growth-phase companies while remaining sharply pragmatic about technology choices. As a founder and former Director of Engineering at Etsy and multiple fashion and marketplace engagements, he blends e-commerce and search expertise (ElasticSearch, Go, Java, Rails) with product-first sensibilities. He thrives on greenfield innovation and refactoring hard problems alike, often cutting infrastructure rebuilds from minutes to seconds and driving measurable operational improvements. Equally comfortable in board-level strategy sessions and in the trenches shipping APIs, Gerald brings entrepreneurial grit, a scientific background, and a consistent zeal for new challenges.
