Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Laporte is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 13 years of experience building cloud-native, mobile, and AI/ML systems from prototype to production. As Principal at Element Tech and CTO of Hailo Data, he combines hands-on engineering with product strategy and fundraising experience to guide startups and enterprise integrations. He has founded companies (Sellbit, RewardLoop, EQO) and led engineering teams to deliver payment platforms, mobile VoIP at scale, and transaction-level retail analytics. His work blends systems architecture (Node.js microservices, EMV/WebEMV, analytics pipelines) with operational rigor—introducing automation-first QA, quality metrics, and lean product processes. Based in Vancouver, he’s as comfortable architecting a softswitch for millions of users as he is packaging EMV chip-and-tap integrations for web developers. A pragmatic inventor, he repeatedly turns hardware/software constraints into marketable platforms and developer-friendly integrations.
