About

I help founders, CEOs, and leadership teams make sound technology decisions without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive hire.

I work hands-on with companies at the points where technology choices matter most: shaping a product and platform strategy, building and leading engineering teams, and getting delivery on a steady footing. The goal is always the same: clear direction, practical systems, and a team that can carry the work forward.

What I Do

• Fractional CTO Part-time technology leadership: owning the roadmap, architecture, vendors, and budget alongside your executive team.
• Technology Strategy Aligning technology investments with business goals, and turning them into a plan the team can execute.
• Architecture and Platform Review Independent assessment of systems, cloud infrastructure, security posture, and technical debt, with clear recommendations.
• Team Building and Delivery Hiring, structuring, and coaching engineering teams, and putting in place the processes that keep delivery predictable.
• Due Diligence and Advisory Technical due diligence for investors and acquirers, and ongoing advisory for boards and leadership.
