Edward Romero

I am an accomplished software engineering leader with over 13 years of experience across diverse sectors, including FinTech and Security. Throughout my career, I've led and inspired engineering teams to achieve remarkable growth and innovation. At Greenlight Financial Technology, I played a pivotal role in transforming the company from Series A to a unicorn in Atlanta, GA, driving the development of scalable system architectures and comprehensive REST APIs for over 9 million active users. During my tenure at IBM, I managed high-visibility accounts worth over $50M, engineered full-stack MEVN applications, and developed robust security solutions. My expertise spans D2C and B2B product development, and I excel in transformative leadership, technical development, and quality assurance. Mentoring and developing engineering talent is a passion of mine. I've significantly reduced onboarding time and increased developer velocity, fostering a collaborative environment by working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless project delivery. My goal is to nurture the next generation of STEM leaders, push boundaries, and inspire innovation.
