Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavin Hills is an experienced engineering architect and fractional CTO with over three decades building enterprise software and more than a decade in senior technical leadership roles. He has repeatedly led transformations from monolithic to microservice architectures, driven performance and scalability improvements, and shepherded HIPAA-compliant products through security audits and production at scale. As a hands-on CTO and founder, he blends high-level strategy—technical sales, culture and recruiting—with day-to-day architecture, coding standards, and troubleshooting across cloud, mobile, and web stacks. His background includes leading engineering organizations, running tier‑3 incident responses, and establishing best practices for Go, React, and React Native teams. Based in West Des Moines, Iowa, Davin brings a pragmatic mix of operational rigor and product-focused design, having steered acquisitions, integrations, and large P&L‑level initiatives. Unusually for a leader at his level, he still takes direct responsibility for low-level performance tuning and database query optimization.
