Michael Ledin is a pragmatic CTO and founder with over a decade of hands-on product and engineering leadership, known for turning early-stage ideas into scalable SaaS and mobile products. He has repeatedly built and scaled engineering teams (from small startups to 35 people), delivered fast MVPs that secured funding, and cut infrastructure costs by up to 4x while improving platform performance and reliability. His work spans full-stack development, CI/CD, monitoring, cybersecurity, and real-time streaming, including prototyping low-cost wearable streaming hardware and contributing build and SQL-dialect fixes to open-source projects like ZIO Quill. At consumer and B2B businesses he drove measurable outcomes—faster releases, fewer bugs, doubled MRR from platform integrations, and major reductions in support and hosting spend. Comfortable with both strategic IT transitions (migrations off foreign services, establishing cyber teams) and detailed automation (Homebrew cask maintenance), he combines operator discipline with hands-on engineering. Based in Moscow with an MS/CS background from Bauman, he thrives on practical modernization that balances cost, speed, and security.
