You don't need another developer. You need someone who can see the whole board — architecture, hiring, roadmap, vendor decisions — and make the calls that save you six months of wrong turns. I embed in your team as a fractional CTO and bring the technical clarity that lets you move fast without breaking things.
I audit your current system — code, infra, CI/CD, database — and give you a clear, prioritized list of what's sound, what's fragile, and what will break at scale. No fluff, no 40-page PDFs. Actionable decisions.
I translate your business goals into a sequenced technical plan. What to build now, what to defer, what to kill. Every decision tied to a business outcome, not an engineering preference.
I help you define roles, write job specs, screen candidates, and design the team structure that matches your stage. I've built teams from zero — I know what a good first hire looks like.
Build vs buy. Monolith vs microservices. When to raise technical debt and when to pay it down. I sit in the room for the decisions that matter and bring the engineering context your leadership team needs.
You have domain expertise and business instinct, but you need a technical co-pilot who speaks both languages — engineering and business — and can translate between your team and your tech.
You're too early for a full-time CTO but too far along to wing it. You need someone who's done this before to set the foundations right — before bad decisions compound.
Your product works, users are growing, and the codebase is starting to creak. You need a senior technical voice to plan the next phase — without the 12-month commitment of a C-suite hire.
Ongoing monthly retainer or scoped project engagement. Typical retainer starts at 2 days/week. Scales up or down as you need.
