Fractional CTO who builds companies, not just code.
Most CTOs overcomplicate. I streamline your tech, align it with revenue, and build the team to execute.

I'm a fractional CTO who's built and sold two companies before moving into engineering leadership. I work with founders who need someone technical that also understands what sells, what investors care about, and how to keep engineering focused on growth.
I don't just fix code - I align your tech roadmap with revenue goals. I know what features will convert, what investors ask about your stack, and how to prioritize what actually moves the business forward instead of what's architecturally interesting.
I've closed 80% of top engineering candidates, many taking pay cuts because they believed in the mission. I build teams that ship fast, communicate clearly, and stay aligned with business goals - not engineers who disappear into six-month rewrites.
I work with startups and established companies that have good products, real customers, and tech that keeps getting in the way. Here's what I focus on as your fractional CTO.
Turn a vague wish list into a clear, prioritized roadmap. No more random features - just a plan that ties technology directly to business outcomes.
Diagnose why your team is slow, blocked, or burning out. Then redesign processes so work flows smoothly and releases stop being emergencies.
Assess whether your current stack can handle growth. Simplify where needed, reinforce what's critical, and eliminate technical debt before it becomes a crisis.
Step in as your part-time or interim CTO - leading technology decisions, representing tech to the board and investors, and stabilizing delivery while you grow or transition.
Translate between business, product, and engineering. Clear communication, realistic timelines, and answers to tough questions without hand-waving.
Introduce just enough structure - metrics, reviews, decision frameworks - so you stay in control without slowing down.

Fractional CTO
Brought in when deadlines were being missed and confidence was low. Stabilized the team and simplified the stack without major reconstruction. I rebuilt processes to match startup speed, broke the endless refactoring loop, and increased ticket delivery by 33%.
Fractional, interim, and project-based CTO support - without committing to a full-time executive hire.
Ongoing strategic leadership, part-time commitment.
Full ownership during critical transitions.
A few common questions about working with me as a fractional or interim CTO.
Both. I work with funded startups, growing product companies, and established organizations that need clearer leadership around technology, teams, and execution.
No. My primary role is strategic: roadmap, architecture, process, and leadership. I go hands-on with code only when it’s needed to unblock critical decisions or understand edge cases, not as a full-time developer.
We start with a focused audit: people, process, and systems. I map what’s working, what’s broken, and what’s urgent. From there, we agree on a clear set of priorities and quick wins to prove momentum fast.
Both are possible. I can temporarily act as your CTO, or I can support and mentor an existing CTO or Head of Engineering. The goal is to strengthen leadership, not create political friction.
Yes. Most of my work is with distributed teams across multiple time zones. I bring structure and communication patterns that make remote work actually function instead of constantly misfiring.
Availability depends on my current commitments, but I keep room for high-urgency situations. In many cases we can begin the audit and discovery work within days, not months.
That’s ideal. I can help you define the role, interview candidates, and prepare a clean handover. You get immediate traction now and a smoother transition when the permanent hire joins.
Send me a short message with who you are, what your product does, and what feels broken. If it looks like a fit, we schedule an initial call to dig into the situation and outline a concrete next step.
