I'm Emory Mercera, a software engineer and technology consultant based in Curaçao 🇨🇼—born in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and raised on Bonaire 🇧🇶.
With extensive experience in software development, architecture, and technology modernization, I guide businesses in choosing the right tools 🛠, frameworks 🖼, and strategies 🤔 to scale efficiently.
As your personal CTO, I provide the insights and expertise needed to drive technology decisions that align with your business goals. From assessing existing infrastructure to designing and implementing custom solutions, every aspect of your tech stack is optimized for efficiency, scalability, and success.
Over the years, expertise has been built through a blend of hands-on coding, collaborative project leadership, and strategic technology planning. The journey began in the dynamic sports betting industry, starting as a part-time IT support technician while attending university.
Navigating the fast-paced sports betting industry—shaped by evolving gambling regulations, stringent data privacy requirements, and the complexities of high-volume transaction systems, online payments, and third-party integrations—curiosity and determination led to a rapid transition into full-stack web application development.
Working on projects across various departments—from B2C and B2B betting applications, internal reporting, online marketing, affiliate management, and multilingual support—I've learned to balance technical innovation with business needs.
Alongside my professional engineering career, I have explored entrepreneurial ventures, working on tech-driven side projects and assisting others in bringing their ideas to life. From developing MVPs to offering guidance on technology choices, these experiences have given me insight into what it takes to build and refine a product.
This journey has provided a practical understanding of the intersection between technology and business. I recognize the challenges founders face—tight budgets, evolving market demands, and the need for agile decision-making. Whether it's optimizing workflows, selecting the right tech stack, or crafting scalable solutions, my hands-on approach allows me to tackle problems with both a technical and strategic mindset.
