Fractional CTO

Senior engineering judgement, a few hours a week.

Some teams do not need another pair of hands. They need someone who has shipped this before to sit in the room when the decision gets made. I join as a fractional CTO or AI advisor, usually a few hours a week, and stay close enough to be useful.

How I work

Clear work, simple handoff, no drama.

01

Sit in the decisions

I join architecture reviews, planning, and the calls where the hard trade-offs get made. Most of the value is in what does not get built.

02

Set the technical bar

Evals, review standards, release process, cost ceilings. The unglamorous parts that decide whether the thing holds up.

03

Grow the team you have

I work with your engineers rather than around them, so the capability stays after the engagement ends.

Outcomes

What should improve.

  • A clear technical direction
  • Better architecture decisions, earlier
  • A team that levels up
  • No full-time hire required
