Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Day is a seasoned technology and business leader with 11 years of industry experience, currently serving as CTO at SportsDataIO and CEO of Left Brain Sports. He founded Fantasy Football Calculator, where he built a high-traffic fantasy sports platform, custom live-draft JavaScript UI, and an API feed used by major sites—demonstrating both product vision and hands-on engineering. Kevin has scaled systems to handle high request volumes, implemented TDD DevOps pipelines on AWS, and led engineering organizations up to 25 people across RVShare and SparkBase. His background blends mechanical engineering research and early work at GE and NASA with deep full-stack software expertise in Python, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, MySQL, and Redis. Based in Cleveland, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with operational rigor, often bridging product, infrastructure, and partner integrations in the sports betting and fantasy space. An interesting through-line: he moves fluidly between low-level systems scaling and user-facing UX innovation, a rare combo for a senior exec.
