Turning your great ideas
into a resilient company.
Fractional product and technology executive leader with nearly three decades in the seat and a record of protecting founders from preventable and costly mistakes.
Three places founders get stuck.
An idea, no build yet.
You can see the company. You can't see the system. What do you need to do now, and what can you defer until down the road?
An MVP that might be wrong.
It works. Sort of. You don't know if you should harden it, replace it, or take it to market and see what breaks.
An idea, but is it a good one?
You shipped fast. Now every new thing takes three times as long. The team is honest about it. Nobody knows where to cut.
What we are.Three paths: All of them leading to your sustainable business.
Fractional CTO
We step into the CTO seat on a part-time basis and stay there. Owning the technology bet, working alongside founders on commercial decisions, and being accountable for what engineering ships and how.
About the Fractional pathwayAdvisory Retainer
A standing line to senior judgment on a monthly cadence. Architecture and code reviews, leadership coaching, and async backup the week you need it. For teams with their own engineering lead who want a sharper second opinion.
About the Advisory pathwayScoped Projects
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, written deliverables. The 4-week audit is the canonical entry: vision, codebase, stack, team, process. You walk away with a runbook and a 120-day plan whether or not we keep going.
About Scoped ProjectsWhat we are not.
- We are not an agents-as-a-service firm that "handles everything" by installing itself between you and your technology.
- We are not incentivized by churning the most tokens, the most hours, or the most features in the shortest amount of time.
- We are not a big firm that ships a deliverable and walks. Every engagement leaves assets and metrics your team can actually use.
Your technology is at your core, but it's not your identity.
Let's talk about the company you're actually trying to build.
