Hi, I'm Jeff Taakey πŸ‘‹

Founder & Chief Architect | 21-Year Tech Leadership Journey

I am a seasoned technology leader with over two decades of experience driving complex systems and multidisciplinary teams. My career has spanned roles as an Architect, Technical Director, and Startup Co-founder/CTO.


πŸ›οΈ Professional Background & Expertise

With a deep-rooted passion for architectural excellence, I have spent my career at the intersection of business strategy and high-end engineering:

  • EdTech Entrepreneurship: Previously served as the CTO of an Education Technology startup in Beijing, gaining deep domain expertise in building and scaling digital learning platforms.
  • Global Leadership: I have led diverse teams of up to 86 people and served as a Development Team Lead in collaboration with global teams across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
  • Enterprise Pedigree: Much of my work was forged within Global Fortune 500 environments, including leadership and design roles at IBM, Citi, and Panasonic.
  • Cloud Pioneer: I have spearheaded the design and delivery of large-scale industry cloud platforms, ensuring scalability and resilience for mission-critical systems.

πŸŽ“ Education & Certifications

I believe in a rigorous foundation of both technical and management theory:

  • Master of Science in Computer Science: Graduated with a high GPA of 3.51 from an English-speaking university in Hong Kong, reflecting a deep commitment to technical excellence.
  • MBA Degree: Obtained from an English-speaking university in Hong Kong, bridging the gap between technology and business value.
  • Industry Credentials: My expertise is validated by elite international certifications, including TOGAF, PMP, ITIL, and AWS Solution Architect Associate (SAA).

πŸš€ My Current Mission: Stonehenge EdTech

Following my most recent academic journey in Hong Kong, I launched the Stonehenge EdTech ecosystem to share advanced, practical technical knowledge with the global developer community.

I currently oversee three specialized pillars:

  • DevPro Portal: A comprehensive Engineering Resource hub featuring 5861+ technical guides, system design patterns, and toolkits.
  • Cert DevPro: Our flagship Certification Mastery hub, providing architect-level roadmaps for AI, Cloud (AWS/Azure), Security, and PMP.
  • Stem Expert Pro: Elite Logic & STEM Competition training (USACO, AMC, Robotics) for the next generation of innovators.
