Te Warren

I'm the Founding CTO at Vital, where I've spent 9 years building modern hospital software that uses AI to reduce wait times and improve patient outcomes. As employee #1, I worked directly with our CEO to build the core product, then scaled our teams to 30+ people across Software Engineering, Integration, IT, Security, Compliance, and ML. I can help with early-stage technical leadership and CTO responsibilities, building and scaling engineering teams from the ground up, healthcare tech and AI/ML implementation, navigating regulatory compliance like HIPAA and security, balancing technical depth with executive breadth, and creating inclusive engineering cultures. I'm passionate about building technology that makes healthcare accessible to everyone and fostering diverse, mission-driven teams. Happy to share lessons from the trenches of startup growth!
