Scott Adams - Engineering Leader

# About Me

Engineering leader with 15+ years building consumer-facing platforms at scale, including 8+ years as CTO across four startups. Deep expertise in TypeScript, React, and event-driven AWS architectures, with a track record of stabilizing inherited engineering organizations and shipping reliably where uptime, auditability, and trader trust are non-negotiable. Player-coach by default—still hands-on with architecture and code while running the org and partnering across product, design, risk, and compliance.
