CTO VISION

Q1 2026 - 12 Week Year

"The train can only move as fast as the tracks it's built on."

- Jason Waldrip

Long-Term Aspirational Vision

5 Years

GigSmart is the "Stripe for labor" - the infrastructure layer that powers how work gets done. A GigSmart gig is indistinguishable in attractiveness from traditional employment. The platform is synonymous with innovation in labor technology. As CTO, I'm the one who laid the tracks that let the train accelerate continuously - foundation, process, convention, architecture - the compound effect that separates companies that scale from companies that stall.

2-Year Vision

24 Months

GigSmart operates like home automation for labor: requesters configure it once and it runs invisibly, freeing them to focus on operations. Workers earn reliably without friction. The platform requires no babysitting - if it needs constant maintenance, we've failed. The tracks are laid so well that features that would take a week take a day, and scaling challenges that would cause downtime become non-events.

12-Week Vision

Q1 2026

Complete visibility into system health, business performance, and predictive indicators - all in one place. We see problems before users feel them, identify market opportunities (supply gaps, demand patterns), and correlate user behavior to infrastructure and business outcomes. This is track-laying work - the foundation that lets everything else compound.

No more blind spots. No more silence. No more noise. Just signal.
