christopher robison hands on cto systems architect skip to content cdr what i do case study work with me builds about let s talk what i do case study work with me builds about let s talk available for q2 q3 2026 engagements hands on cto systems architect i turn messy operations into scalable revenue systems scaled a transportation business from 500k to 3m built real time platforms serving 20m users a day shipped ai driven optimization that lifted daily revenue 30 with no added headcount view case study let s talk 500k 3m annual revenue grown at d harris tours 2 14 buses in the fleet on the same operational backbone 30 daily revenue from ai trip route optimization 20m daily users on platforms i ve architected at conversant 01 what i do six things i get hired for the through line is the same find the operational bottleneck design the system that removes it ship it 01 operational systems design end to end software for how the business actually runs intake scheduling dispatch billing reporting the plumbing that determines whether growth is painful or boring 02 workflow automation replace spreadsheets group texts and tribal knowledge with systems that don t forget don t quit and don t call in sick 03 dispatch crm billing platforms custom built where off the shelf doesn t fit integrated where it does revenue critical by design not afterthought 04 real time tracking coordination gps live status automated notifications customer portals the nervous system of an operations company 05 ai assisted optimization applied where it moves a p l line routing pricing scheduling forecasting not where it looks good in a pitch deck 06 fractional cto architecture leadership strategic technical leadership for founders and teams that can t justify a full time exec yet need senior judgment 02 featured case study d harris tours from family operator to 3m regional carrier a family run charter bus operator stuck around 500k in revenue with two buses running operations on phone calls spreadsheets and memory the problem dispatch lived in a group text quotes took 24 hours and often fell through drivers lacked real time trip info billing and collections were manual inconsistent and leaking money growth was capped by how many things one person could hold in their head the system unified tms covering crm quoting scheduling dispatch driver ops gps tracking automated notifications invoicing payment collection and a customer portal ai assisted trip and route optimization layered over historical data built to run the business not to impress investors the results fleet 2 14 buses annual revenue 500k 3m daily revenue lift 30 from optimization alone quote turnaround minutes not days added headcount zero the owner runs a bigger business with less chaos that s the whole job 03 how to work with me three ways to start pick the shape that fits the problem i ll tell you if it doesn t engagement 01 systems audit 2 weeks fixed fee one focused engagement i map your current operational stack interview your team and deliver a candid written report what s working what s costing you money and where the leverage actually is usually pays for itself before a single recommendation is implemented start with an audit engagement 02 architecture sprint 4 8 weeks outcome based i design the system you actually need data model service boundaries integrations build vs buy calls and a realistic implementation plan you leave with something your team or mine can build against without guessing scope a sprint engagement 03 fractional cto ongoing retainer senior technical leadership without the full time hire roadmap hiring architecture calls vendor decisions and hands on work when the problem warrants it best for founders scaling past the point where just figure it out stops working discuss a retainer 04 selected builds a short list each solved a specific problem these support the work they aren t the work the business results above are the point u2os modular multi tenant business operating system the operational patterns that scaled d harris tours generalized into a platform other operations heavy smbs can deploy multi tenant saas operations platform textweb messaging first interface layer for business workflows moves intake updates and approvals to the channel customers and drivers actually read text sms infrastructure workflows larc agentic workflow framework for orchestrating long running multi step business processes across humans systems and ai built to run to completion without a person holding the thread agent orchestration workflow engine panicbooking last minute charter reservation system built for the i need a bus in 90 minutes end of the market inventory pricing and dispatch coordinated in a single flow booking real time transportation 05 about engineering and operations at the same time i ve spent my career at two intersections systems and operations engineering and leadership at conversant i led rich media and mobile systems serving 20 million users daily rest apis mobile sdks metrics and reporting infrastructure the unglamorous backbone of a platform at scale at d harris tours i wore both hats architected and built the operational software and helped run the business while the fleet grew 7 and revenue grew 6 it s one thing to ship software that works it s another to ship software that moves a p l that dual perspective is the work now i take on engagements where technical leadership and hands on engineering both matter where someone needs to understand the p l and ship the code i m selective about full time roles intentionally broad on consulting as long as the problem is real 06 contact let s talk i m currently taking on a small number of consulting and fractional engagements and i ll consider the right full time role the fastest way in is email i read every message myself email preferred cdr cdr2 com copy website cdr2 com github github com chrisrobison linkedin linkedin com in crobison cdr
