Project-Based Engagements
Need a one-time deliverable? I also offer fixed-scope engagements for technical due diligence, architecture audits, AI readiness assessments, and technology strategy workshops. Pricing based on scope — let's discuss.
From First Call to Impact
Discovery Call
We talk about your business, technology challenges, and goals. No commitment — just a conversation to see if there's a fit.
Audit & Assessment
Deep dive into your current stack, architecture, team, and processes. I produce a prioritized roadmap of what to fix, build, and invest in.
Strategic Planning
Architecture decisions, team structure, hiring plan, and technology roadmap — all documented and aligned with your business milestones.
Execution & Leadership
Hands-on technology leadership. I work alongside your team — mentoring, unblocking, and making the technical decisions that move the business forward.
I Work Best With
Early-Stage Startups
You need a technical co-pilot to make the right architecture and hiring decisions before you can afford a full-time CTO.
Growth-Stage Companies
Your product works but your technology needs to scale. You need someone who's done this before to steer the ship.
PE / VC Portfolio Companies
You need technical due diligence, post-acquisition integration, or fractional leadership across portfolio companies.
Non-Technical Founders
You're building a technology product but don't have a technical co-founder. I bridge that gap until you're ready to hire one.
Start With a Conversation
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest conversation about whether I can help.
