About John Cox

I build high-performing teams and scalable systems that drive real business results.As a senior engineering leader and architect, I’ve led transformations across consumer platforms, marketplaces, and data products spanning early-stage startups to large-scale enterprises. My work blends technical excellence with business insight: whether that’s simplifying a legacy monolith into a modern event-driven platform, scaling engineering organizations, or pioneering the use of AI agents in production workflows.I thrive in the intersection of product, platform, and people translating strategy into software that works and teams that win. I\'ve worn many hats: from founding engineer to VP, from hands-on coder to org-wide advisor. I’m especially drawn to hard problems, elegant systems, and working with good humans.My personal website & blog:https://johnthefactotum.com/
