I Work With Founders Who Are…
- Trying to launch an MVP and need product/tech clarity
- Drowning in tech debt and misaligned priorities
- Scaling fast and need strategic technical leadership
- Hiring engineers but don’t have a technical partner to vet decisions
- Looking for product-market fit with lean, focused execution
What I Do
Fractional CTO / Tech Advisor — not just code reviews. I help you build the right thing and scale it properly. Here’s how I typically support founders:
- Product + engineering strategy
- Architecture reviews & roadmap alignment
- Dev team org design & hiring help
- SaaS infrastructure & DevOps consulting
- AI Automations for document-heavy workflows
- Due diligence & pre-M&A tech evaluations
- People leadership & team culture development
- Coaching engineering managers and product leads
- Scaling from small dev teams to large multi-disciplinary organizations
I can step in weekly, monthly, or for a fixed engagement—flexible to your stage.
Why Me?
I’ve spent 25+ years leading teams across startups and enterprise software—from MVP to scale. I’ve:
- Built and scaled large SaaS platforms serving thousands of active users across multiple industries, designing scalable cloud architectures with high availability, performance, and security best practices, including multi-tenant architecture design and enterprise system integrations, leveraging platforms like Azure, AWS, and GCP for scalable, secure deployments
- Launched SaaS companies from zero to revenue
- Managed and mentored large, distributed engineering teams
- Built high-performance cultures that attract and retain top technical talent
- Worked with oil & gas, finance, logistics, and AI platforms
- Served as CTO, Solution Architect, and product lead across multiple ventures
I’m technical, but grounded in people and business outcomes.
