Innovative Architect with CTO experience

I just finished as the CTO for a startup company. I have driven the product from a failing prototype to a successful MVP and we have continually iterated new features in an Agile manner to bring the product to where it is now live with fee paying clients. Our MVP was nominated for 3 industry awards. Prior to this I have spent 10 years working in a research department of a third level Institute of Technology. I had the title of Technical Architect. This involved wearing many hats including leading teams, liaising with clients, EU collaboration, proposal writing including successful Horizon 2020 (10+ million) and national level funding (200k - 600k). I was awarded a President of Ireland Award in 2013 for my contribution to EU research in Ireland. I have published a number of research papers.
