Ezekiel Victor
Founder & CTO of Textpert
I build software, race dirt bikes, fly helicopters, and play jazz piano. In order of fluency to novelty, I speak English, German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian. Past victories include seeing Gravity to a $90M AOL acquisition with a team of 12 engineers, as well as overseeing engineering and ops at Sonic Electronix going from $30M to $60M revenue in 2 years. I architected and built a majority of the LAMP stack that partners used to manage many tens of millions of dollars of ad dollars at Gravity’s sponsored ad height (post-acquisition we focused more on organic/non-sponsored within the AOL/Verizon network). Additionally I helped push our Scala/Tomcat widget architecture which serves millions of impressions daily to a modern, manageable codebase tuned for fast iteration and testability.
