He’s a tech enthusiast, true progressionist, pragmatic builder, optimistic thinker, amateur cocktail mixer, modern art fan, and a Super Smash Bros champion. 💪

Growing up in a family of engineers, Dylan naturally gravitated towards technology. As a kid, he didn’t just play with toys; he built robots and coded them to life. Now he brings that same inventive spirit to Builders Studio as a CTO in residence. “Building robots and writing code as a kid wasn’t just fun; it really shaped who I am today,” Dylan shares. This foundation took him through various roles in digital agencies and innovation consultancies, arming him with the know-how to navigate the complexities of a CTO role.
