Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikki Ambalo is a Fractional CTO and seasoned engineering leader with a decade of experience building and scaling product-focused teams across startups and enterprise acquisitions. She has led engineering at Bbot through rapid growth and acquisition by DoorDash, then helped integrate and advance DoorDash’s in-store Order & Pay ecosystem as a senior engineer. Now advising multiple startups, Nikki architects LLM-powered matchmaking for alumni networks and crafts roadmaps that align product, go-to-market, and offshore execution. A maker at heart with a mechanical engineering background from Carnegie Mellon, she combines hands-on system design with a knack for mentorship and operationalizing reliability, SLOs, and partner integrations. Less obvious: she’s comfortable shifting between founding-engineer scrappiness and multi-team management, having also worked in professional kitchens early in her career.
