Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristian Herrera is a hands-on Chief Technology Officer with a decade of experience transforming legacy processes into high-growth, cloud-native platforms, most notably architecting the technology that helped OCMI Workers Comp reach #17 on the Inc. 5000. He built and scaled engineering organizations from the first engineer to 30+ people, established international development centers, and led a strategic migration from PHP to a modern Node.js stack while introducing Agile, DORA, and FinOps practices company-wide. Cristian combines full-stack engineering, mobile multi-tenant SaaS design, and DevOps expertise to deliver fault-tolerant integrations (payroll, web scraping, e-signature) that materially improved approval and retention metrics. He’s equally comfortable in board-level technology strategy and in the codebase, having grown a consultancy into a successful acquisition and turned a 20-page WordPress site into a 5,000+ page revenue engine. Based in Fort Lauderdale, he’s known for pragmatic innovation—implementing observability, security-first infrastructure, and CI/CD to enable rapid, sustainable scaling.
