Ace Cerio
Tech Lead & Full Stack Developer
I turn product ideas into working systems — and make sure the team ships.
No fluff, no endless meetings. Just solid architecture, clean code, and products that actually ship.
What I Bring
I connect product and code
PM has big ideas? Cool. I figure out what's buildable, make a real timeline, and get it done. No endless refinement meetings.
I care if it makes money
Not here to write pretty code. Does this feature help your business? Will users care? If not, I'll say so and suggest something better.
I make devs better (directly)
Honest code reviews. Teams level up fast because I don't sugarcoat. But you only hear about mistakes once. Same error twice? We're having a chat.
How I Work
Discovery
Understand your business goals, talk with your PM, identify risks, define success.
Planning
Design architecture, create roadmap, set up infrastructure, break down milestones.
Execution
Lead development, review code, monitor performance, adjust based on results.
Communication Style
I'm direct but cool. You'll know where things stand — what's shipping, what's stuck, what needs you. No fluff.
My Approach
Teams don't need task boards
They need someone to point the direction, clear obstacles, and trust them. I orchestrate strategy; devs own the work.
Quality compounds
Rather spend an hour preventing bugs than a week fixing them. Cut corners early, pay interest later.
I'm blunt but fair
If something's wrong, you'll hear it. But I celebrate wins too. No games, no politics, just honest talk.
