Len Garvey / Chief Technology Officer

Tech, cameras
& heavy things.

I lead technology
where product
and business meet.

I work in technology and take photographs when I’m not. This is a small public corner for both.

I’m CTO at Doshii. I’ve spent more than 20 years in software and the last decade leading technology and product teams. I’m most useful when the problem needs technical depth, commercial judgement, and clear decisions.

I’ve spent more than two decades building software and leading teams. The rest of the time is for family, strength training, travel, and looking a little closer at the world.
