Clear decisions for complex systems.

As a fractional CTO, I work with your team part-time (typically 10-20 hrs/week) to define the technical strategy, architect the system, hire and mentor engineers, establish engineering processes, and communicate technical decisions to stakeholders and investors.

You likely need a CTO consultant if you are a non-technical founder scaling your first tech team, if your engineering team lacks strategic direction, if you are preparing for a fundraising round and need technical due diligence support, or if you want an experienced technical leader without a full-time hire.

Engagements typically start at 8-10 hours per week for advisory roles and scale to 20-30 hours for active fractional CTO roles. We agree on the scope upfront and I am flexible as your needs evolve. Monthly retainers provide predictable costs.

Yes. I define the technical hiring plan, write job descriptions, screen candidates, conduct technical interviews, and help structure compensation. I also set up onboarding processes and engineering culture from the start to ensure your team scales effectively.

This is my specialty. I bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution, translating complex technical decisions into business terms. I help non-technical founders make informed technology choices, avoid costly mistakes, and communicate effectively with their engineering teams.
