Technology executive with 20 years building companies from zero to exit. Former VP at Two Sigma and CoinDesk.
I organize my work by the problem you're facing, not by buzzwords or service categories.
You have an idea, a market opportunity, or a mandate to build something new. You need someone who can go from whiteboard to working system.
You've found product-market fit. Now you need to grow the users, the team, the infrastructure, without everything falling apart.
Technical debt is killing velocity. Performance is bad. The previous team made questionable decisions and now you're stuck with them.
You're acquiring a company and need to know what you're buying. Or you're selling and need your tech to pass diligence.
I spent 20 years learning how to orchestrate engineering teams. Now I orchestrate AI agent teams. Same judgment, different leverage.
Most consultants advise but don't build. Or they build but lack strategic judgment. I do both.
You get one person with 20 years of experience and the output of a small team.
I think about your problems the way a VP or CTO would. What's the real issue? What should we prioritize?
I don't hand off to junior staff. I build it myself: code, analysis, documentation, prototypes.
Work that takes traditional consultants weeks takes me days. I've figured out a different way of working.
I'm Parker Ferguson, a technology executive who's spent 20 years building companies from zero to exit.
I was VP Product at Two Sigma, a $60 billion hedge fund, where I led trading platform engineering. Before that, VP Technology & Product at CoinDesk, where I scaled the engineering org from 1 to 25, grew traffic from 1M to 28M users, and led the acquisition of TradeBlock.
I've been a CTO, a VP of Engineering, a founder. I've built products for Kenny Loggins, Marvel, and the New York Stock Exchange. I have a music degree from Berklee. I'm not a one-dimensional tech person.
After Two Sigma, I relocated to Santa Barbara with my family. Now I run an AI-native practice, helping companies build, scale, fix, and exit faster than traditional approaches allow.
