He combines hands-on engineering—having architected high-throughput KV stores, optimized Airflow pipelines, and built Flink/Kafka event streams—with strategic technology leadership as a fractional CTO modernizing infrastructure and integrating business systems. A proven program manager from the Space Force and Air Force, he blends DoD-scale project delivery, cost-saving procurement, and Agile re-baselining with product-focused rollout and observability practices. Taylor’s work spans API and hardware integrations, ETL and analytics foundations for future AI capabilities, and migrating brittle Excel workflows into secure, database-backed platforms. Based in Del Norte, Colorado, he’s noted for translating operational problems into automated, measurable solutions and brings an unusual mix of combat-tested operational urgency and polished full-stack engineering craft.
