Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Koperwas is a pragmatic engineering leader and CTO with 11 years of experience building and scaling web platforms using Ruby, JavaScript, and Go. Currently cofounder and CTO at Veles (YC W24) in Austin, he has a track record as a staff and senior engineer at Procore and Tegus and ran a Rails performance consultancy that focused on untangling production bottlenecks for large clients. He spans full-stack work—from Rails/Postgres backends and Redis caching to React frontends—and is comfortable diving into performance tuning or rewriting critical infrastructure. Patrick pairs hands-on implementation with product-minded leadership, having led feature teams and internship programs, and brings a curious systems background that includes embedded firmware and C++ GUIs from early roles. His GitHub presence reflects a practical, polyglot toolkit and a preference for shipping measurable performance improvements.
