Strategic technical guidance without the full-time commitment. Get CTO-level expertise for architecture decisions, team building, and technology strategy.
Growing companies often face a critical gap: you need senior technical leadership, but you're not ready for a full-time CTO. You might be struggling with:
Major technical choices with long-term consequences, but no one with the experience to make them confidently.
You need to grow your engineering team but don't know how to structure it, hire well, or set up processes.
Development is slowing down. You suspect there are problems, but you're not sure what to fix first.
VCs and board members want to see technical leadership. You need someone who can speak their language.
I work as your technical partner—available for strategic decisions, architecture reviews, and team guidance without the overhead of a full-time executive.
Technical roadmaps, system design decisions, and technology choices aligned with your business goals.
Hiring processes, interview frameworks, team structure, engineering culture, and developer experience.
Code audits, architecture reviews, and honest assessments for investors, acquirers, or your own peace of mind.
Buy vs. build analysis, vendor evaluation, and technology partnerships that make sense for your stage.
Series A/B companies that need technical leadership but aren't ready for a full-time CTO commitment.
You have a great product vision but need a technical partner to translate it into architecture.
Your engineering team is expanding and you need help with structure, processes, and culture.
You're preparing for due diligence and need your technical house in order.
4-8 hours/month
Ongoing strategic guidance, architecture reviews, and availability for critical decisions.
2-3 days/week
Hands-on technical leadership: team meetings, code reviews, architecture work, hiring support.
Defined scope
Specific deliverables: technical audit, architecture design, due diligence preparation.
Consultants give advice and leave. I stick around to see decisions through, attend team meetings, and take ownership of technical outcomes. I'm accountable, not just advisory.
Most engagements run 6-12 months, though some clients keep me on advisory retainer for years. I'm flexible—scale up during critical periods, scale down when you're stable.
Yes. Part of my job is often helping you define the CTO role, build the job description, evaluate candidates, and eventually hand off to your permanent hire.
When needed. I can do architecture work, critical implementations, and code reviews. But my primary value is strategic—making sure your team is building the right things the right way.
I've worked across fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, and B2B SaaS. The specific domain matters less than the technical challenges—I learn your business context quickly.
Let's discuss your situation and see if fractional CTO support makes sense for your stage. No commitment—just an honest conversation.
