Fractional CTO and technology leadership for early-stage and mid-market businesses without a full-time CTO. Architecture decisions, hiring, technical due diligence, vendor selection, technology roadmap. Engagements: monthly retainer or project-based.
“Most early-stage businesses do not need a full-time CTO. They need someone who has seen 10 of their problem before and can tell them which fork in the road actually matters.”
