Fractional CTO for seed-to-Series B startups
I help founders make the right engineering decisions at the right time: from first hire to scalable platform.
I'm a technology leader with two decades of experience scaling platforms and engineering organizations from idea validation prototype to series A company.
I specialize in solving complex frontend and backend challenges, leading cross-functional teams, and mentoring engineers into leaders. My superpower? Turning ambiguity into velocity—without burning out the team.
My core strengths include agile execution, ROI-driven tech strategy, systems architecture, DevOps, security, and data/AI infrastructure. I believe in building teams through mentorship and creating cultures that enable sustainable growth.

Strategic technical leadership for startups and scale-ups
Design scalable systems aligned with business goals. Conduct architecture reviews to identify bottlenecks and optimize for growth.
Build high-performing engineering teams from scratch. Define roles, hiring pipelines, and career frameworks that scale with your company.
Unblock engineering bottlenecks and accelerate roadmap execution. Implement agile practices that drive velocity without sacrificing quality.
Step in during transitions or critical growth phases. Provide steady technical leadership while you find your permanent CTO or VP Engineering.
Evaluate technology stacks, technical debt, and team capabilities for investors. Provide clear assessments of technical risk and opportunity.
Build reliable, observable infrastructure. Implement CI/CD, monitoring, and security practices that enable confident, rapid deployment.
I work alongside founders, not above them. Every engagement is shaped around what you actually need right now.
1-2 days per week, ongoing. I embed with your team as a hands-on technical leader: setting architecture direction, running hiring, coaching engineers, unblocking delivery. Best for companies that need senior engineering leadership but aren't ready for a full-time CTO.
Focused engagements of 1-8 weeks. Architecture reviews, MVP assessments, technical due diligence for investors, or a second opinion before a critical build decision. Clear scope, clear deliverable.
Most engagements begin with a single conversation. No proposals until I understand the problem. Get in touch
