Sound Familiar?
We're a non-technical founding team building a tech product. We don't know if our developers are making the right calls.
Non-Technical FoundersOur MVP worked at 5 people. Now we're at 30 and everything takes three times longer than it should.
Scaling StartupsWe're raising our Series A and investors keep asking about our technical roadmap. We need credibility, fast.

A CTO Who's
Been There
Most fractional CTOs give you advice. I give you execution. Two decades of building products, scaling teams, and making the hard calls that separate companies that ship from companies that stall.
I've built enterprise platforms, led distributed engineering teams, and shipped software across every stack that matters. You get all of that experience focused on your company, on your schedule.
Honest assessments. Real timelines. I tell you what you need to hear, not what's comfortable.
Not just slides and strategy decks. I get in the code, review PRs, and pair with your engineers.
10 hours a week or 30. Month-to-month. Scale with your needs, not a rigid contract.

Simple. No Friction.
No 6-month contracts. No procurement hoops. Just senior tech leadership, plugged in and shipping.

Frequently Asked
A dev shop sells you hours and code. I give you leadership. I'm not here to build your app for you. I'm here to make sure your team builds it right, with the right architecture, the right tools, and the right people. My incentives are aligned with yours, not with billing more hours.
Both. I review PRs, pair program with your engineers, and get hands-on when the situation calls for it. But my primary value is the decisions I help you avoid making wrong. One bad architecture choice can cost you six months. I've seen those mistakes enough times to steer you around them.
It depends on your stage. Early-stage companies often start with 5-10 hours per month for strategic guidance. Scaling companies that need hands-on leadership typically need 15-25 hours per month. We'll figure out the right level on our discovery call, and you can adjust anytime.
Scale up or down with 30 days notice. No penalties. Your needs will change as your company grows, and your CTO engagement should change with them. That flexibility is the entire point of fractional leadership.
Absolutely. Many engagements end with me helping you recruit and onboard a full-time CTO. I'll define the role, vet candidates, and make sure the transition is smooth. A good fractional CTO should work toward making themselves unnecessary.
