Fractional CTO & technical advisory
Senior technical leadership on a part-time basis — the judgment of a CTO for the decisions that matter, without the full-time cost or equity.
Best for Founders without a technical co-founder
For seed–Series B founders — technical or not
Build the engineering team and architecture your next stage depends on.
I help founders make the technology and hiring calls that scaling depends on — translating the tradeoffs into plain language if you're not technical, or acting as a seasoned second opinion if you are.

Who I work with
Early-stage and scaling startups — typically seed to Series B — that have real customers and real code, but a thin or missing technical leadership layer. If you're a founder making architecture and hiring decisions you're not sure you should be making alone, that's exactly where I come in.
I work equally well with non-technical founders who need a translator and a plan, and with technical founders who want a seasoned second opinion before betting the roadmap on it.
