Senior🎓
Top SchoolWarren Runk is a Seattle-based Co-Founder and CTO with 15 years of hands-on engineering and leadership experience and a Y Combinator-backed startup track record. He combines deep systems and backend expertise—especially in Go, Python, cloud migrations, and scalable REST APIs—with a knack for hiring and building remote cross-functional teams. Warren has driven major re-platforms (AWS to GCP), optimized production performance, and architected content and ecommerce services that power millions of page views and transactions. As a founder at Chorus Sleep he now applies that engineering rigor to consumer wellness tech while retaining a developer-first curiosity—he describes himself simply as a “computer nerd.” His background spans early C++ game services to modern cloud-native stacks, reflecting an unusual breadth from low-level systems to product-facing APIs.
