Shawn Mayzes

About

Shawn is a multi-domain founder who merges technical depth with startup intuition. At Jetpack Labs, he operates as a solo ecosystem—building products, teams, and systems from zero to scale with a relentless focus on revenue and product-market fit.

His power equation combines Vision × Systems × Execution × Leverage (AI + People) to compound impact. As a fractional CTO and strategic operator, Shawn helps non-technical founders de-risk their ideas and translate vague visions into executable roadmaps. He specializes in AI systems architecture (RAG/CAG, agents, orchestration), Laravel backend scale, and revenue-focused product development.

Beyond code, Shawn is a mentor and community leader. Co-organizer of the Vancouver PHP Meetup, he brings authentic leadership shaped by Deaf community roots and Olympic-level commitment to excellence—values that extend to every team he builds.
