About Alvar Laigna
I’m Alvar Laigna, a tech enthusiast and serial entrepreneur who believes in technology’s power to foster positive change. Over the past two decades, I’ve navigated the worlds of software development, machine learning, AI, and electronics, blending these fields to drive tangible impact.
Currently serving as the Founder & CTO of Alder Solutions / Perxify, Altos Engineering and Savvy Digital, I’ve laid down digital roots in numerous ventures—each reflecting my drive to innovate and scale. From Clickwork Games / Superb, where we pushed for a unified digital ID to boost community ownership, to bridging the web3 frontier with game developers, my journey has always revolved around transformation through tech.
My entrepreneurial spirit led me to co-found or contribute to companies like Savvy Digital, Altos Engineering, Alder Solutions / Perxify, Future Dialog, Mediamodifier, and BIND (Bind Creative). Each startup represents a piece of my broader mission: combining user-centric design, seamless integrations, and emerging technologies to build more inclusive and creative digital spaces.
My Operating Principles
Valuing Long-Term Relationships — I prioritize enduring partnerships over short-term gains, fostering trust and mutual growth through consistent collaboration. Empirical studies in business psychology (e.g., Harvard Business Review analyses) show that long-term relationships improve outcomes by 25–40% via reduced transaction costs and enhanced innovation. Like neural networks in a cyberpunk grid, connections strengthen over iterations.
Building Value Over Time — Asking for help early costs a fraction of fixing a crashed system later. I focus on incremental value creation — compounding small, well-timed efforts into sustainable results. A quick consultation today prevents a costly firefight tomorrow. Don’t wait until things break; the cost of expert guidance is almost always less than you expect, and far less than the cost of recovery.
Lean and Focused Project Management with Iterative Errors — I employ a lean approach, emphasizing focus while embracing errors as learning tools — data from agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum Alliance reports) indicates 30% faster delivery via rapid iterations. My flow mixes speed with a structured cycle: analyze (data-driven insights) → plan (risk-assessed strategies) → build (prototype execution). I’m oriented toward initiation phases, thriving in dynamic starts over routine maintenance, favoring experiments, research, and tests for validated progress.
How I Help Customers — I guide clients from ideation to launch by kickstarting projects with experimental rigor, optimizing processes to cut waste (lean principles reduce inefficiencies by up to 50%, per Toyota Production System studies). For dev houses like Altos Engineering, I build scalable teams; for startups like Perxify and Raamatuhai, I drive MVP testing and value accrual. Expect tailored strategies that prioritize long-term ROI through research-backed innovations.
Tech Challenges, Simplified
My core expertise lies in architecture, planning, and ideation—providing a ‘CTO as a Service’ model for businesses striving to streamline their tech operations. Whether it’s DevOps, API integrations, CRM/ERP, or B2B/EDI solutions, my goal is to ensure a rock-solid infrastructure so you can focus on driving growth. Alongside a deep background in monitoring, logging, analytics, and BI, I also guide social media and community engagement strategies.
