Gregory Golberg
Fractional CTO & Software Architect
I build real systems, solve real problems, and mentor people who ask "why" as much as "how." I've worn titles from founding engineer to CTO, across startups, scaleups, and the occasional fire that needed putting out yesterday.
This isn't hype—it's real, and the treadmill is running. Accelerating. Your competitors are already on it. The question isn't whether AI matters. It's whether you're keeping pace or getting left behind. I focus on business results. The rest is just tools—and I pick the right one for the job.
I help companies cut through the noise—identifying where AI delivers real efficiency gains, where it's not worth the complexity, and how to implement it without betting the farm on a demo.
My stack spans Java, Go, Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, data pipelines, distributed systems—and now AI, the game changer. But at the end of the day these are power tools to be wielded correctly. You can build a house with cranes and bulldozers—or you can wreck a few.
If you're solving hard problems and value pragmatism over posturing, let's talk.
