RJ Lindelof, engineering executive. AI that ships, not AI theater. 20+ years leading engineering orgs, LLM inference cost cut 90%, code coverage from under 10% to 40%, new-engineer onboarding cut 70%.

LinkedIn: rjlindelof Bio: RJL.bio Every project: RJL.link Open to VP of Engineering, Head of Engineering, or CTO roles

Engineering executive who turns AI from experiment into production SDLC. Builder of high-velocity teams, not manager of large ones.

🔥 20+ years scaling SaaS platforms across Healthcare, EdTech, and regulated B2B. 13 years as an IC before management (Java, JavaScript, Node, .NET, Delphi, C++) and I still spin up local dev environments, review PRs, and prototype alongside my teams. Player-coach by conviction, not by title.

⚡ I move AI from pilot to production as a delivery system, not a sandbox toolset. GitHub Copilot, AWS Kiro, and GitHub Actions run as first-class CI/CD stages. Multi-model fluency, no single-vendor dependency. Recent operating indicators from leading SaaS engineering through an AI-native transformation: 5x deploy frequency, 23% PR throughput gain, code coverage from under 10% to 40% with no dedicated QA team, new-engineer onboarding cut 70%.

🛡️ Compliance under regulated weight: HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HL7/FHIR, Epic EMR integration. Federal-grade reliability shipped to the VA and the White House Medical Unit.

👍 Currently in active search. Targeting VP of Engineering, Head of Engineering, or CTO at a growth-stage company under 250 people, ideally with an engineering team of 15 to 50. Strongest in Healthcare and EdTech SaaS, at home in regulated B2B. Also open to selective fractional CTO and advisory engagements. Let's connect and build. 🌟
