Francesco Hayes is a fractional CTO, technical founder, and startup builder based in the Washington D.C. area, with over 20 products built and a track record of helping early-stage companies turn ideas into scalable, production-ready solutions. His work sits at the intersection of business vision and technical execution from architecting web applications and designing scalable systems to guiding founders on the right technical decisions before those decisions become expensive mistakes.

Known for bringing clarity and momentum to complex builds, Francesco leads with a pragmatic, people-first approach that cuts through noise and focuses on what actually ships. He has led global teams, worked across multiple industries, and built a reputation as the kind of technical partner who doesn't just write code, but thinks like a founder and builds like one too.

His current focus is Luxxera, a healthcare startup connecting patients in the U.S. with vetted, world-class clinics abroad, starting with cosmetic procedures like hair transplants and dental care, at a fraction of the domestic cost. As Co-Founder and CTO, Francesco is building the platform infrastructure that makes international medical travel safe, seamless, and certain for patients who deserve better options than the ones they've been given.
