Senior🎓
Top SchoolHamilton Hitchings is a seasoned software leader and founder with nine years of recent hands-on experience building full-stack products from mobile apps to ML demos. Based in Palo Alto, he has repeatedly served as technical lead and CTO, shipping production systems including Chatspace, RoboRecruiter, and consumer apps like CaptionMagic and BubbleChat. He combines backend expertise in Node.js, Google Cloud/Firestore and AWS with front-end fluency in Swift, React and Unity, and has led distributed teams through MVP to App Store launches. Hamilton also completed an intensive self-guided ML sabbatical, producing TensorFlow/Keras notebooks and independent explorations of Transformers and deployment tools. Unusually for a technical lead, he holds an FAA Part 107 drone pilot license and creates short demo applications that showcase his product-first mindset. An independent consultant by trade, he blends deep engineering chops with product intuition and a track record of turning prototypes into revenue-generating products.
