Technical Leadership That Gets Teams Shipping
Meet Aili Huber
Fractional CTO
Aili leads engineering for Develomentor's clients — founders and executives who have a development team or a product already in motion and need a senior technical voice to make it deliver. As Fractional CTO, she steps into the codebase, the team, and the roadmap to decide what to fix, what to build next, and how to get a team shipping reliably.
A self-taught engineer who has shipped products in more than a dozen languages and frameworks, Aili has built large-scale transportation infrastructure, educational technology, and broadcast media applications for organizations including GE, Rosetta Stone, and the Staten Island Ferry. She has served as CTO and head of engineering at multiple companies, regularly guiding outsourced and distributed teams to real results.
Where Aili Drives Results
Aili brings hands-on engineering leadership to the decisions that determine whether a team — and its codebase — can keep delivering.
01
Codebase & Team Assessment
Reviews existing codebases, team communication, and delivery practices, then turns the findings into a concrete plan for better code hygiene, maintainability, and morale.
02
Leading Development Teams
Steps in as CTO or head of engineering to own technical and product decisions, including guiding outsourced and distributed teams. At Roundtable from the 92nd Street Y, she leads product and engineering for a platform generating $3M a year in online course sales.
03
Building & Shipping Products
Hands-on across more than a dozen languages and frameworks, from a $3M course platform to scheduling and speech-to-text systems for public transit. As CTO of an early-stage AI startup, she built a fully functioning beta from the ground up.
Better Work, Faster, With Less Burnout
Before software, Aili spent decades as a theatrical director — work that is, at its core, about getting a group of people to do their best work together against a fixed deadline. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Directing and a Master of Letters in Shakespeare, and she brings that same discipline to engineering teams.
Her conviction is simple: most teams do not move slowly because they lack talent — they move slowly because of unclear priorities, brittle code, and friction no one has named out loud. She makes the work visible, clears what is in the way, and installs the practices that let a team move faster without burning out. That is what she brings to every Develomentor engagement she leads.
