“He didn't just come in and give advice. He helped build the technical foundation of the company.”
— Michael Livingstone, Founder & CEO, Dustid
How VNSIS Technologies took Dustid from two backend developers and no engineering structure to a 30+ person cross-functional engineering powerhouse — in 16 months.
The Starting Line.
Dustid had two backend developers and no real engineering structure. The founder needed strategic technical leadership to scale, but early-stage startups rarely get access to the level of CTO required to build it properly.
The VNSIS Execution.

“Misplaced trust can cost you far more than money. It can cost you time, confidence, momentum, relationships, and in some cases, the future of what you are trying to build.”
“In this sector, that is why personal integrity, professionalism, and commitment to high standards matter so much when choosing technical partners. Evans has shown all of those qualities consistently. I have seen first-hand what Evans can deliver and I would recommend him without hesitation to any founder who needs more than surface-level technical advice.”
