Fractional CTO who turns chaos into shipping.
I help startups and growing teams make good technical decisions and actually execute them: roadmap, architecture, hiring, delivery, reliability, and the occasional “prod is on fire” rescue.
Hands-on when needed. Not a “slides-only CTO”.
Plain English tradeoffs. No buzzword fog.
Pragmatic architecture: enough rigor, not a science project.
A quick sanity check
FreeIf you’re not sure what you need (hire? rebuild? stabilize? ship faster?), start here.
What you’ll get
- A clear problem statement (what’s actually broken)
- A prioritized plan (what to do first, second, never)
- Next steps you can execute with or without me
Good fit if
- You need direction + execution (not just advice)
- You want to ship reliably without burning the team
- You’re done guessing and ready to prioritize

What I do
You get a CTO brain with builder hands. I’ll help you pick the right bets, build the right system, and run the team like a grown-up.
Technical strategy
Roadmap, tradeoffs, build vs buy, and a plan that engineering can actually execute.
Architecture & platform
Sane systems, clean interfaces, and fewer “we’ll rewrite it later” regrets.
Delivery leadership
Rituals, planning, quality, and making shipping the default outcome.
Hiring & team design
Role definitions, interview loops, leveling, onboarding, and “who should we hire next?”.
Reliability & incident work
Stability, observability, postmortems, and fewer 3am surprise parties.
Cost & performance
Make cloud bills boring again. Performance wins without heroics.
Common problems I’m brought in for:
• “We’re shipping slowly and nobody knows why.”
• “Our architecture is… vibes.”
• “We need to hire engineers but don’t want a zoo.”
• “We’re scaling and the system is fighting back.”

FAQ
The usual questions before we work together.
Do you still code?
Yes, when it helps. I’ll jump into codebases for audits, prototypes, critical fixes, and to unblock teams. But the main value is making the team ship better long-term.
What stage do you work with?
Pre-seed to growth. If you have real users (or strong conviction you’re about to), I can help you build a product you can scale without pain.
Can you work with our existing dev team?
That’s the point. I’ll meet your team where they are, level up process and quality, and reduce thrash - without making everyone hate their lives.
Do you do equity-only?
Typically no. I’m happy to discuss a blended model in rare cases when there’s a strong fit and real traction.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. If you need an NDA, send it over and I’ll review quickly.
How fast can we start?
Depends on current load. For urgent cases (incidents / outages), I can often carve out time sooner. Book a call and I’ll be straight about availability.
