Fractional CTO

Senior technical leadership when you need it. Architecture, strategy, team oversight—without the overhead.

You get someone who's shipped systems to production, scaled teams through crises, and made the hard technical calls. Not a consultant on the sidelines. Someone actually invested in your success.

Get started in days, not weeks

Execution

Quick answers

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Absolutely. I explain technical decisions in terms that matter to your business. You make the calls; I handle the complexity.

Can we start part-time and scale up?

Yes. Most engagements start at 10-15 hours/week. As needs grow, we can scale up or down.

What if we need to pause?

30 days notice. No long-term lock-in. We work together as long as it makes sense for both sides.

How is this different from hiring a junior engineer?

You get someone with 10+ years shipping systems to production, handling crises, and scaling teams. Plus no hiring overhead, benefits, or equity dilution.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Work with sensitive or regulated systems? Not a problem. I sign whatever you need.
