Hi everyone! I’m Denis, a fractional CTO based in Dallas.
I spent 8+ years building DepositFix, a payment platform serving 500+ businesses. That taught me payment systems inside and out (gateways, processors, ISOs, fraud, the whole stack) plus the hard lessons of running a SaaS through platform dependency and pivots.
Now I help growing companies turn operational chaos into scalable systems. My sweet spot is bridging technical expertise with business reality - figuring out what to build vs buy vs outsource, and making it work within real constraints.
Lately I’ve been focused on practical AI implementation - helping companies cut through the hype to find what actually delivers results. Built a RAG-based matching system recently that took a 2-day manual process down to 10 minutes.
Happy to connect with anyone working in payments, process transformation, or trying to figure out where AI actually makes sense for their clients.
