I have been the Chief Technology Officer for a Japanese Educational Software company for the past 10 years. As CTO for a startup, I wore many hats, including lead developer, team lead, designer, software architect, researcher, and business partner. My main super power is my ON-DEMAND rapid learning capabilities. Typical business meetings included task requests such as: "Paul, I need a subtitle search engine, where I can specify the parts of speech for my search query". On the surface, the request seams simple, but in reality, it involved diving into the intricacies of using various API endpoints to pull in data, designing a database to hold the data, then creating index to index the data, and finally, create a user interface to execute the search and display the data beautifully!
I am a self starter that, for the last 10 years single handedly created an app used by our content editing tean to create compelling educational content. I also created many MVP's for my CEO, which was used for our investors to secure funding.
From subtitle / video editors, multi-user dictionaries, to flashcard programs, I've interfaced with many Google API, Elastic Search Engines, and many JavaScript frameworks.
With zero guidance, I was able to learn all technologies required quickly, to launch our software, manage a team, and provide innovative tools and software for my company.
As well as acting as CTO, I also handled many human resources related tasks, such as hiring and managing outsources, administrating Atlassian Products such as Atlassian Jira, and Atlassian's confluence Wiki - which I used to produce in-house documentation for our team. I also lead all testing efforts on our software.
