Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Yagan is a seasoned engineering leader and fractional CTO with nine years of senior technology and people-management experience, now based in Barcelona, who partners with startups and scale-ups to design AI-ready platforms and optimize cloud infrastructure. He has repeatedly been brought in to rescue slowing execution and rising costs, steering large reorganisations—from forming a 47-person Game Framework org at NetEnt to centralising cloud data engineering at Adevinta. Comfortable across product, DevOps and ML/NLP architecture, he blends hands-on technical judgement (Scala, Spark, Kafka, AWS/GCP migrations) with a people-first leadership style that emphasizes knowledge transfer and continuous improvement. Tim’s background includes directing quality engineering for Frostbite engine franchises and building global teams for EA and King, demonstrating an ability to stabilise complex platforms under acquisition and rapid growth. Not obvious from a title alone: he pairs strategic CAPEX/OPEX planning and governance with frontline delivery coaching, making him adept at turning organisational friction into measurable velocity gains.
