Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSeth Sakamoto is a Fractional CTO and seasoned technology executive with three decades of experience transforming engineering and product organizations across startups and large companies. He’s led turnarounds, platform modernizations, and scaled teams from early stage to post‑acquisition at companies including Intuit, Hipmunk, TuneIn, Envoy, and TeamSnap, and now advises startups and leaders at Airbnb, Figma, Rutter, and others. Seth combines hands‑on technical judgment—migration to microservices, cloud and serverless architectures, and strong quality/security programs—with operational playbooks for hiring, OKRs, and engineering culture. He specializes in rapid, measurable improvements: doubling team size and diversity, cutting tech sprawl for six‑figure savings, and increasing delivery velocity while lowering regression rates. Based in Kailua, Hawaii, he co‑organizes the San Francisco CTO Club and enjoys coaching senior engineering leaders to bridge strategy and execution. An electrical engineering-trained problem solver, he’s equally comfortable in boardroom due diligence and in the code-to-production trenches.
