Stratos Pavlakis is a hands-on technology leader and CTO with 13+ years building web-first products and modern engineering teams, currently steering Blueground’s platform and developer organization. A coder at heart, he blends deep front-end expertise (core web, React/Angular/Vue) with strong DevOps, automation, testing and performance sensibilities to ship delightful, fast user experiences. He has a track record of scaling teams and delivery practices from his tenure as VP of Engineering and lead roles at Workable, Persado and Upstream, favoring pragmatic agile and bespoke processes over one-size-fits-all methodologies. Comfortable across stacks from Java/JavaEE and JRuby to modern JS and emerging languages like Rust, he pairs system-level thinking with an obsession for UX. Based in Athens, he is actively recruiting top engineering talent and unusually vocal about avoiding legacy Java EE roles—so he’s selective about the problems he wants to solve.
