Cody J. Boillot MBA · CSM
Technical Program Manager · Engineering Leader · AI Builder · Coach
I run complex, multi-team programs and ship the products myself, then turn junior engineers into leaders along the way.
A builder who leads, and a leader who ships.
I'm a technical program and engineering leader with 15+ years driving complex, multi-team initiatives from concept to delivery. I run concurrent programs across infrastructure, platforms, AI, and engineering operations, setting measurable metrics, reporting risk and progress to leadership, and clearing roadblocks so teams can move. I'm also a hands-on builder: I founded a revenue-producing, AI-agent-powered SaaS CRM and architected multiple internal platforms now used daily across a 40+ person engineering org. What I'm proudest of is the people side. I personally hired, coached, and graduated 60+ junior engineers into fully independent contributors, reshaping culture around learning, ownership, and knowledge-sharing.
Where I've made an impact
- Designed, engineered, and launched a revenue-producing SaaS CRM powered by autonomous AI agents, architecting the full stack from data model to agent orchestration, concept to live paying product.
- Built autonomous AI-agent workflows handling core CRM functions: data entry, enrichment, follow-up, and reporting.
- Owned the entire lifecycle: infrastructure, integrations, deployment, go-to-market, and customer onboarding.
- Manage multiple concurrent programs across a 40+ person engineering org: planning, timelines, resourcing, and delivery end to end.
- Hired 60+ junior engineers and personally coached them into independent engineers who graduated onto product teams, with 90%+ retention and a durable homegrown talent pipeline.
- Architected and shipped a suite of internal platforms (below) now used daily across the organization.
- Led a vendor consolidation replacing multiple suppliers with one platform, delivering $5M+ in annual savings with zero operational disruption.
- Established accountability rituals and tracked measurable metrics, reporting progress, milestones, and risk to leadership.
- Led delivery across 3 teams for large-scale platforms serving thousands of users, coordinating cross-functional dependencies and ceremonies against cost and schedule targets.
- Improved operational reliability and release predictability by 35% through process improvements and structured accountability.
- Served as Voice of Customer, translating feedback into prioritized initiatives in a compliance-driven public-sector environment.
- Delivered enterprise applications and automated business workflows in a regulated financial-services environment; coached teams on Agile best practices and consistent delivery cycles.
- Managed site-level operations and built training programs that measurably accelerated team productivity and engagement across multiple business units and locations.
- Deployed multiple times across two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, leading airmen in active war-zone operations where readiness and split-second decisions carried life-or-death stakes.
- Promoted to Sergeant with direct leadership of personnel under combat conditions, responsible for their training, safety, performance, and morale.
- Completed Airman Leadership School, formalizing the people-leadership skills that anchor my career today.
Platforms that solve real problems
A selection of internal platforms I conceived, built, and launched, each adopted into daily use to remove friction and unlock the team.
AI app-generation platform
An internal AI-powered platform that lets engineers and non-engineers spin up working applications from natural-language prompts, bringing rapid prototyping in-house and removing dependence on external low-code vendors.
Self-service deployment platform
A self-service system that lets users stand up applications on AWS behind company SSO with a custom URL, turning a manual, engineering-gated process into a few-click workflow and dramatically shortening time-to-launch.
Gamified engineer training platform
A gamified learning platform that helps engineers target and close individual skill gaps using badges and achievements, central to the program that graduated 60+ junior engineers into independent contributors.
Streamlined project-delivery platform
A simpler, faster, more usable alternative to heavyweight project tools for managing development work, launched on AWS serving 100+ daily users, with service standards and adoption metrics defined from scratch.
Broadcast operations portal
A unified portal giving users access to every station across a large media broadcaster: market info, endpoints, schedules, and personnel, including a live module to view what each station is broadcasting in real time.
Weekly internal speaker series
A TED-style talk series where volunteers present on a topic of their choice, building a culture of education and knowledge-sharing while developing presentation and public-speaking skills across the org.
