14+ years
Building products from the first sketch through launch.
Across my career
Founder CTO Technical leader
AnthonyLayne
I turn hard ideas into technology people can trust. For more than 14 years, I've built products across banking, health care, connected devices, and startups. Today, I'm building JUNIE and sharing what I've learned with other founders and teams.
A little about me
The work has changed. What I care about has not.
I started in software testing. That taught me to notice the small things that can break trust.
Since then, I've built mobile apps, payment systems, hotel keys, fleet tools, identity services, and products for family-building.
Along the way, I've managed engineers, coached new developers, helped hire teams, and worked with founders to get new products off the ground. I still care about the same things: make the problem clear, build what matters, and leave the team stronger.
My work
A few things I'm proud of.
10M+ app users
I led the team that got new versions of Capital One's mobile app ready for customers. We cut the time it took to put out an update by 30%.
Capital One
40% faster
I helped bring mobile development in-house and cut deployment time by 40%.
Sherwin-Williams
$1M seed
I helped build secure hotel-key technology that supported a $1 million raise.

The work I know well
I'm at my best when the path is not clear.
From idea to launch
I’ve joined as an early engineer at startups, started a consulting company, and built JUNIE from the ground up. I know how to find the first useful version and get it into people’s hands.

Building trust when failure matters
I’ve worked on pharmacy, payments, identity, hotel access, fleet data, and medical records. I think about what could go wrong early—not after something breaks.

Helping teams carry the work
I’ve managed engineers, coached interns, helped hire teams, and moved work from an outside partner to an in-house team. I care about leaving people with a system they can understand and own.

What I think about
The work keeps giving me new questions.
I like to write when the work changes my mind. Most of the time, a choice looked easy at first. Then I learned something new.
How do you build trust before something goes wrong?
When should a team build, buy, or wait?
How do you use AI without handing over the judgment that matters?
Ways we might work together
It can start with a simple conversation.
Sometimes a good talk is enough. When there's a real fit, I also step in as a fractional CTO, advisor, or speaker.
The path is not clear
When a team needs a steady technical lead, I can step in for a while. I help set priorities, make hard calls, and give people a plan they can carry forward.
You need a fresh set of eyes
If you’re weighing what to build, how the system should work, or what the team needs next, I’m happy to help you think it through.
You want a useful talk
I speak about trust, AI, product choices, and what it takes to build software people can count on.
