👋, I’m Jeff Judge

I’m fascinated with technology and long on human innovation. I want to spend the rest of my life working with amazing people, building products that pass the toothbrush test.

I am currently helping startups, growth-stage companies, and investors as a fractional CTO. Previously I led engineering at Tegus (investment research platform), Flash (parking + EV charging platform), and Arrive (APIs and payment tools for parking), founded Bright (growth analytics for SaaS products), co-founded Signal (marketing automation for SMBs), and was an engineer and engineering leader at Orbitz (online travel).

I live in the great city of Chicago with my wife, Erin, and our five children.

Outside of work and family, I mentor startups going through Techstars and serve on the board of the Old Town School of Folk Music.

I love riding bikes (i.e., cycling), running, skiing, spending time outdoors, and a good espresso. I’m always learning – here’s what I’m reading, watching, and listening to.
