Joe Pantuso

I've spent over 30 years building software — founding companies, managing engineers, leading technical organizations, writing code, and talking to customers. I've worked across industries and company sizes, from scrappy startups to large enterprises, from multiplayer games to high-stakes global security. The through-line has been care and good taste: I care about how the thing feels and works and whether it was worth making.

A few years ago I chose to punch out of what I had been doing and move to Big Sky, Montana. Not to retire — to reset and think about building something different. But first, skiing and hiking... being able to step out the door any given day and experience world-class skiing, fantastic hiking, I needed a reset and this is where I chose to do it. And now that I've been here awhile I'm all-in on Big Sky.

I have a wide skill set but I've found three concentrations that I think make sense to people: luxury home technology for homes and vacation properties in and around Big Sky, full smart home design and installation, and fractional CTO engagements with small businesses. The common thread in all of it is someone who know how things are built and can make things work, can communicate clearly, and be trusted to do it right. All with good taste, a thoughtful philosophy, and a security mindset.

I'm direct, I have opinions, and I'm genuinely curious about many things. I can't help but think and write about technology, management, food, and whatever else is happening.

If any of this sounds like someone you'd want to work with, reach out.
