Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Taylor is a hands-on technology leader and founder with over 17 years of professional experience (and 20+ years of development experience) building and scaling products from three-person startups to FTSE100 engagements. He has repeatedly served as CTO or co-founder—architecting cloud-native backends, resilient hosting and ops, and practical test-driven engineering for consumer and B2B platforms including Songdrop, Dizzie and multiple SaaS ventures. A pragmatic polyglot, he chooses the right tools for the job and pairs deep systems-administration expertise (rack-based and cloud) with agile delivery and team leadership. Now focused on helping new startups get off the ground and scale, he blends entrepreneurial instincts with hands-on coding and infrastructure work. One less obvious strength is his track record of taking prototypes through funding and global launches, marrying product vision with production-grade engineering.
