Ustun Ozgur is a lead software engineer and founder with 14+ years building SaaS platforms from zero to production, often as the first engineer on early-stage US startups. He blends hands-on full‑stack delivery (Python/Django, FastAPI, TypeScript/React, Node/NestJS) with product-driven architecture and operational rigor—shipping MVPs, designing billing and multi-tenant systems, and standing up CI/CD and cloud infrastructure. He has led teams and technical strategy across NYC, SF and Seattle startups (Toolio, Braid Health, Edge Delta, Runy), integrating LLMs and RAG pipelines in production and even partnering with AWS AI on internal tooling. As a founder-CTO he scaled SellerCrowd to profitability and built enterprise compliance and discovery products at Rugila, so he knows which engineering shortcuts are safe and which will cost you later. Based in Istanbul with a decade of remote work for US companies, he now focuses on fractional CTO/principal roles and zero-to-one AI product builds.
