[ Fractional CTO ] · [ Technical Leadership ]
A CTO's judgment. Without the hire.
Architecture calls, hiring, code quality, vendor decisions. Senior technical leadership for founders and teams that need a CTO's judgment before they're ready for a CTO's salary.
Engagement
Monthly retainer
scoped to your company · cadence, deliverables, and price agreed up front
What you get
Judgment. Standards.
Delivery.
architecture · stack · build-vs-buy
Decisions you will not regret
Architecture reviews, stack choices, and build-vs-buy calls made by someone who has been shipping for nearly 20 years across DoD, big data, pharma, and founder-side startups.
hiring · reviews · mentoring
A stronger engineering team
Interview loops that actually filter, code review standards that stick, and mentoring that levels up the engineers you already have.
delivery · unblocking · AI leverage
Ship faster, with AI baked in
Roadmap triage, stalled work unblocked, and AI-enhanced development practices wired into your team's daily workflow. The same system behind my build days.
How it works
Monthly. Scoped.
Renewable.
01
We scope it together
A short call to map where technical leadership is missing: architecture, delivery, hiring, or all three.
02
A monthly retainer
Cadence, deliverables, and price agreed up front. Renew, resize, or end it month to month. The scope stays defined, so the urgency stays real.
03
Ship, review, repeat
Regular working sessions with your team, plus async access for the decisions that cannot wait for the next meeting.
