About George Bradley

I build high-performance data systems that scale revenue without scaling complexity.As a Staff Software Engineer and Technical Founder, I specialize in engineering leverage: building automated infrastructure that outperforms teams ten times its size.My Approach:• Automation over Headcount: I believe the best code replaces the need for more meetings. At Nimble5 (now Ionik), I led a 5-engineer team that drove 10x revenue growth ($40M to $400M) by prioritizing automation over hiring.• Defensive Architecture: I build systems that turn liabilities into logistics. Whether it\'s architecting privacy frameworks at PeopleConnect or automating sales tax compliance for SalesTaxIQ, I design for zero-touch governance.• Technical Ownership: I manage and ship product roadmaps. From \"0-to-1\" architecture and development to deploying sub-100ms APIs, I operate across the full stack.
