Lead your engineering org through the Software 2.0 shift.
Software is moving from engineers writing every line to teams directing AI agents that write it for them. I help CTOs turn that shift into a competitive advantage.
I'm Nick Stoddart — a hands-on CTO and consultant. I've spent my career building cloud platforms and production AI systems, and today I help technology leaders rewire their teams around the new engineering skills: evaluation, orchestration, and task design. I've been in your shoes, and I don't implement tech for tech's sake — every engagement is aligned to the KPIs that matter: uptime, delivery speed, and bottom-line results.
Results
A few engagements and what they delivered. Details are anonymized to protect client confidentiality.
34% → 93% trade-match accuracy
An ESG trading workflow at a $2.7T AUM asset manager was hobbled by a matching process that caught barely a third of trades. I rebuilt the matching pipeline end to end, taking accuracy to 93% and turning a manual reconciliation burden into a reliable, automated process.
2× faster dataset curation with LLMs
A data organization needed to curate thousands of datasets without doubling headcount. I designed an LLM-powered curation workflow that doubled throughput while keeping humans in the loop for quality.
Schema recovery: weeks → hours
Recurring schema breakages were costing weeks of engineering time per incident. I built self-healing data pipelines that detect and repair schema drift automatically, cutting recovery to hours and slashing downtime.
+$200 per unit in annual NOI
A rental operator wanted more signal from its portfolio data. I delivered rental analysis tooling that surfaced pricing and efficiency opportunities worth an extra $200 per unit per year in net operating income.
What Clients Say
"Nick has been a valuable asset to my company over the past two years, providing hands-on guidance on how to implement AI into our HealthTech platform. He not only has expansive knowledge on how to leverage AI appropriately, but he knows how to build and execute efficiently. Nick is one of the most knowledgeable AI experts and software engineers I know."
"Nick drove DataMission.ai from sketch to alpha—ideating the product, building the PoC, wiring chat agents, benchmarking, integrating MCPs, and even seeding early leads with virtual org charts. His blend of vision and hands-on execution made the impossible routine."
