Ed Anisko
Senior Director of Technology at Leadpages.
Bridging executive leadership and deep-stack engineering.
Building AI-native teams and high-performance cloud systems.
Hands-on builder since 1981.
I bridge the gap between executive leadership and deep-stack engineering. From managing enterprise-grade IT infrastructure as a VP to publishing Rust CLI tools and developing agentic design patterns, I remain a hands-on builder at heart.
My focus is on creating high-performance, cost-efficient cloud environments that enable AI at scale. AWS certified, constantly exploring the latest in LLM orchestration, SvelteKit, and distributed systems.

AI-Native Engineering
Transforming how engineering teams work. The 20% rule: if engineers spend more than 20% of their time writing code by hand, they're doing it wrong.
Leadpages Arcade
A collection of retro HTML5 games built entirely with AI — Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Tempest, Missile Command, Defender. Because building things is fun.
I've been compelled to build things my entire life — not for the money, not for the title, but because making something from nothing is the closest thing to magic I know. AI didn't change that instinct. It just removed the bottleneck.
Christmas 1981. A TI-99/4a with TI Extended BASIC. My friends got Atari — I got a keyboard and Hunt the Wumpus. Hunting the Wumpus got old fast. So I learned BASIC instead. The computer did what I told it. That was power. I've been building things ever since — 30 years in Los Angeles, from VB and SQL Server in the dial-up era to agentic AI systems on the edge.
