Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIan Saultz is a founder and CTO with seven years of software engineering experience building cloud-native and mobile systems, now leading Casco from Charleston. He previously served as a senior engineer at AWS where he led the AWS AI Kit, guided nine engineering teams, acted as an AppSec Security Guardian, and vetted hundreds of APIs as an API Bar Raiser. A hands‑on contributor to open source, Ian has improved Amplify’s Swift library and iOS SDK build tooling and sits on the MapLibre technical steering committee and Swift C++ interoperability workgroup. His background includes leading modularized VA mobile apps and performance-focused backend work, blending product leadership, security review rigor, and low-level optimization. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who moves quickly between high-level architecture and nuanced performance or security fixes—he also quietly shipped key non‑blocking auth APIs that improved Amplify Swift’s async behavior.
