I am the CTO and Founding Engineer at Safe Right Fast Tech, Inc., where I help MEP contractors, with a strong focus on electrical contractors, run better operations through purpose-built software.

About

Engineering with empathy, speed, and follow-through.

Name

Justin Stockton

Role

CTO and Founding Engineer

Company

Safe Right Fast Technology, Inc.

I lead technology strategy at Safe Right Fast Tech, Inc. while still staying close to the work: shaping product direction, meeting with clients, designing applications, and writing production software.

Our team builds quality assurance apps, opportunity tracking apps, and prefabrication and manufacturing apps for MEP contractors, especially electrical contractors. That work keeps me close to operational detail, customer context, and the kind of product decisions that only become obvious when you understand how the work is actually getting done.

I also write about AI, technology trends, and new tools that might change how teams build software and run operations. My background in hospitality still shows up in how I operate: listen closely, communicate clearly, and build tools that solve real operational problems.

What I Lead

Technology strategy, engineering direction, client discovery, and product execution.

What I Build

Software for quality, pipeline visibility, prefabrication workflows, and contractor operations.

Product and Client Leadership

I translate contractor workflows into software by combining discovery, client-facing meetings, and application design.

Hands-On Engineering

I oversee engineers and delivery, while still contributing directly to architecture, implementation, and product quality.

Writing

Weekly notes on engineering leadership, AI, technology trends, and contractor software.

I am using this blog to document what I am learning while leading technology, building software, evaluating AI and new tools, and working closely with clients in construction-focused product environments.
