Meet the Founder

Matt Sears, Your CTO

I consider myself a creator at heart, driven by a passion for developing products that genuinely connect with people. Since 1999, I have been privileged to deliver exceptional solutions to customers worldwide, while leading teams ranging from small squads to large groups at both startups and Fortune 500 companies.

I earned my degree in Management Information Systems in 2002, launching my career at LexisNexis during my junior year of college. Over time, I took on increasing responsibilities, guiding teams of various sizes and overseeing the creation of large-scale enterprise products.

More recently, I owned and operated Littlelines, a respected consulting firm specializing in Ruby on Rails projects for clients spanning small businesses to global corporations. Over a fourteen-year period, I led engineering and design teams in delivering hundreds of successful products. In 2020, the firm was acquired.

Today, I am committed to sharing the expertise I have amassed over 25 years, helping teams remain at the forefront of technological innovation. My mission is to bridge the gap between traditional development, remote team management, and the transformative potential of AI—ultimately positioning businesses for sustained, long-term success.
