Tech Advisor To CEO at Independent
Karnataka, India
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKartick Vaddadi is a pragmatic tech advisor and interim CTO with nine years of experience helping startups and growth-stage companies clear the technical, process, and team bottlenecks that block their next milestone. Trained at IIT Bombay and with a long tenure at Google, he blends deep engineering chops across backend, mobile, DevOps and UX with hands-on product and hiring work to deliver measurable outcomes—ranging from 5x scale handling with near-perfect uptime to multi-million-dollar exits. He routinely steps into crises to triage architecture, rebuild hiring funnels, and create practical roadmaps that let founders focus on growth rather than firefighting. As a founder and solopreneur he’s built and optimized computational photography pipelines and shipped fast MVPs, and he publishes tooling like an open-source reverse tax calculator that reflects his attention to practical developer and freelancer needs. Known for getting concrete, fast wins—whether rescuing stalled engineers, avoiding costly architectural rewrites, or recruiting key hires—he combines an engineer’s rigor with a CEO-minded focus on outcomes. Based in Karnataka, India, he advises CxOs and CEOs as an embedded technical partner rather than a distant consultant.
