30 Years of Building. 2 Years of Rebuilding.
CTO. Founder. Pilot. Builder of things that work.
The Story
Three decades as a CTO across PE/VC-backed companies in the $10M–$500M range. Architecture decisions, team building, board-level technical communication, and the kind of pattern recognition that only comes from doing it for 30 years.
Then AI changed everything. Not gradually — violently. The entire development paradigm shifted in 18 months. Code went from bottleneck to commodity. The new constraint became problem definition — the one thing that still requires human judgment, business acumen, and decades of scar tissue.
Silverback CTO was born from that shift. The Velocity Process is the methodology. The 30-day challenge is the public proof. And the consulting practice is the delivery vehicle for PE/VC-backed companies that need senior technical leadership at AI speed.
