John Mileham is the CTO at Betterment. He was a former CTO and Co-founder at ImpulseSave.
Before ImpulseSave, John was the CTO of Berkleemusic, Berklee College of Music's award-winning online music school and professional musicians' network, which he and his team built from the ground up.
John grew up in Milwaukee, where he started
developing web apps professionally, while still in high school, well before Google existed. An avid musician, he went to music school for two years before dropping out to build cutting-edge web apps with ArsDigita, a webshop in Cambridge, MA founded by Philip Greenspun, an early visionary in database-backed web applications.
Armed with his experiences and having worked with some of the most talented people in the industry, John has straddled development, design, and management roles for more than a decade and stays at the forefront of practices and technologies, actively contributing code to open-source projects such as Ruby on Rails.
