Summary
Joseph Szczesniak is a CTO-level builder and co-founder with 11+ years of experience turning product strategy into production-grade platforms, most recently taking Aurelius Lab from blank canvas to profitable acquisition. He blends hands-on engineering—architecting TypeScript monorepos, LLM-driven workflows, big data and ML integrations—with security and compliance rigor required by enterprise and Fortune 500 customers. A former engineering manager and instructor, he scales teams and systems equally well, having led front-end frameworks, global consumer apps, and distributed engineering teams through Series A/B growth. With a BSc in Mathematics and roots in tutoring and teaching, he brings a numerate, pedagogical approach to problem solving and technical leadership. Based in Edinburgh, he’s comfortable moving between detailed implementation and high-level product tradeoffs, and often surfaces pragmatic, maintainable architecture where others see novelty.
