Garrett Vargas
I realize results from ambiguous ideas. This is helped by a passionately curious nature with varied experiences across different domains. I have a unique combination of software development experience, people management skills across multiple disciplines, and business acumen including an MBA degree. I have a history managing large teams in major tech companies and an entrepreneurial spirit with a co-founded start-up and franchise ownership.
My specialty is my ability to define and operationalize a data-driven approach
across the technology and business lifecycle. With my data-driven approach, I have
defined and built systems to capture and transform key data insights, while also
aligning teams to deliver business outcomes at the senior leadership level. Visit

Fractional CTO
I advise and help companies with fractional CTO responsibilities, providing
technical leadership and hands-on development expertise for companies. Leveraging
my decades of global technology management experience with Fortune 500 organizations
(Microsoft and Expedia) and startup experience as a Co-Founder and CTO, I
specialize in helping companies along their data and KPI-driven journey. I'm
equally comfortable helping bootstrap companies with technology investigation and
implementation to begin capturing and making sense of data, or providing advice for
more mature companies looking to take their tech, team organizational structure, or
software development best practices to the next level. See some of my
previous engagements.
Coding Projects
To help me and my teams realize the best results, I research and apply technology
to personal side projects to stay abreast of technical trends. See some of my
personal side projects.
