About HAROTO

Technology, Product, and AI Transformation Consultancy

HAROTO is led by Vangelis (CTO & Founding Engineer at Doctoranytime). We operate lean and senior-led, bringing trusted specialists when needed.

Our philosophy

Execution > hype

Ship real solutions, not demos and presentations.

Systems > hacks

Build sustainable processes, not one-off fixes.

Adoption > demos

Success is measured by what teams actually use.

Measurable impact > vibes

Track outcomes with real metrics, not feelings.

Vangelis

Principal Consultant

CTO & Founding engineer at Doctoranytime

Engineering background with deep involvement in product strategy and growth execution. I've led teams through the scaling challenges—delivery velocity, reliability, platform evolution, and cross-functional alignment.

Hands-on when needed, strategic when it matters. I can advise at the exec level and still go deep with engineers on architecture or code. Strong bias for pragmatic solutions, measurable outcomes, and shipping.

Operator, not slideware.

What I optimize for

Speed over perfection

Ship, learn, iterate. Perfectionism is expensive. Progress compounds.

Clarity over consensus

Make the call. Communicate the why. Course-correct when wrong.

Reliability over heroics

Systems that work > individuals who save the day. Build for sustainability.

Outcomes over activity

Busy doesn't mean productive. Measure what matters. Kill what doesn't.

Good fit

  • You need senior technical leadership but not a full-time exec
  • Your team ships but it's painful—lots of firefighting, unclear priorities
  • You're scaling and the old ways aren't working anymore
  • You want honest feedback, not validation

Not the right fit

  • You need a dev shop to build your product from scratch
  • You're looking for someone to write code full-time
  • You want someone who'll tell you what you want to hear
  • You need deep security penetration testing
