Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Laws is a founder and seasoned software leader with a decade of experience blending design, code, and AI into cohesive product outcomes. As founder of Low Tide Consulting and former Staff Developer and manager at Shopify, he specializes in translating design vision into production-ready systems, shipping developer-facing infrastructure for media and metadata at scale. He thrives as a fractional CTO for design studios and startups, bringing calm, clarity, and a playful yet disciplined culture to teams stuck at technical ceilings. Martin’s background spans startup hyper-growth, regulated industries, and developer experience, and he’s also an educator who’s helped train thousands of web developers—an uncommon mix that makes him equally comfortable in strategic board conversations and debugging a tricky front-end bug.
