Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Solly is a CTO-level technology leader with a decade of experience building scalable, cloud-native and geospatial systems for government and commercial clients. He has led product and platform engineering from Esri dashboards to decentralized geospatial storage (IPFS/Filecoin) and high-throughput location APIs, launching services used by millions and optimizing federal workflows at agencies like SSA, HHS, and CMS.
