Los Angeles, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Bauer is a founder-level CTO and seasoned engineering leader with 11 years of experience building scalable, cross-platform systems from mobile apps to backend services. Based in Los Angeles, he has repeatedly cut costs and complexity—reducing monthly infrastructure spend by 75% at Wurrly and migrating Tapiture to AWS while trimming ops costs by 40%—while shipping production ML, AR, and blockchain-backed royalty systems. He blends hands-on backend work (including adding the Proteus framework to the well-known TechEmpower FrameworkBenchmarks project) with product-facing responsibilities, leading teams through rapid prototyping, release management, and large-scale deployments. His career spans founding a parts startup, senior server work at Signal, and multiple CTO roles where he scaled engineering teams and automated complex licensing and content moderation pipelines. Equally comfortable in C/C++, Java, Go and Swift as in cloud and data tooling, he favors pragmatic solutions that connect systems end-to-end—true to his own phrasing: figuring out where all the parts go. Quietly, he pairs technical depth with a track record of delivering interdisciplinary projects (AR lenses, multi-screen installations, and IoT/HIPAA work) under tight timelines.
