Adam Farver
Senior Technical Leader | Solutions Architect
A rare hybrid engineer with 20+ years spanning hardware systems and modern software development. I've designed utility-scale solar infrastructure deployed globally, managed engineering teams at venture-backed companies, and built AI-powered SaaS platforms from the ground up.
My superpower? Bridging the technical and business divide. Whether it's architecting partner integrations, enabling sales teams with technical tools, or transforming complex requirements into elegant solutions, I deliver measurable results. I bring the credibility to lead cross-functional teams and the hands-on skills to ship production code. Bilingual (English/Portuguese) with proven success in international markets.
