Jake Morrison is a seasoned CTO and technical operator with 19+ years turning business opportunities into high-integrity, high-performance products across healthcare, FinTech, AdTech, telecom and supply chain. He designs compelling user experiences and architectures, then leads distributed teams to deliver systems that handle billions of transactions a day, real-time bidding at 1B requests/day, and global infrastructure under DDOS and outage conditions. A pragmatic polyglot, he prefers Elixir/Erlang but ships production systems in Ruby, Python, React and Kubernetes, and routinely architects pipelines with Kafka, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch and Terraform. Jake combines product-led engineering with investor-facing experience—helping raise tens of millions in VC and defining regulated banking rails—and he’s practiced as a fractional CTO advising startups and PE firms through technical due diligence. His background in embedded Linux, IoT and telecom gives him a rare edge when bridging hardware, networking and cloud-native software. Based in Norman, OK, he is fluent in Chinese and known for rescuing legacy stacks and turning them into scalable roadmaps.
