Royce Haynes is a seasoned technology leader and current CTO based in Denver with 13 years of experience building product-led engineering organizations and shipping customer-facing software. He has a track record scaling teams from zero to 35 engineers and guiding startups through Series A/B growth, and has held engineering roles at Twitter and Pandora where he delivered search and messaging platform features. A hands-on chief technology officer, Royce blends backend craftsmanship (including contributions to open-source projects like Zapier’s Python email-reply-parser) with strategic execution as an interim tech exec for a ~$100M/yr software company. He pairs academic depth from a Master’s in Computer Science with a pragmatic, startup-hardened sensibility—someone who knows both how to raise capital and what not to do when founding a company.
