I focus on delivering practical results that impact your business. Every engagement has clear objectives and measurable outcomes that directly contribute to your company's technical foundation and growth.
No onboarding ramp-up, no learning curve. I join your team and start adding value from Day 1. Most clients report seeing improvements within the first week and significant results within 30-90 days.

Start the Conversation →How I help technical teams solve challenges
We start with a comprehensive technical assessment of your current systems, codebase, and team capabilities. This includes identifying bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and scalability limitations.
Direct hands-on work addressing critical issues first. This includes code refactoring, architecture improvements, security fixes, and implementing proper development processes. I work alongside your team to transfer knowledge.
Ongoing support focused on building team capabilities, implementing best practices, and ensuring continued technical excellence. I mentor your team and help scale your systems as your business grows.
Simple process to get started
We'll schedule a 30-minute call to understand your challenges, goals, and current technical situation. No commitment required.
I'll create a tailored engagement plan based on your needs. Whether it's 5 hours/week for coaching or 20 hours/week for full CTO services.
We begin working together with clear deliverables and regular check-ins. Adjust as needed—we're flexible to your changing needs.
Watch your technical capabilities grow. Your team becomes stronger, your code becomes cleaner, and you ship faster.
Everything you need to know about working with me
A fractional CTO provides Chief Technology Officer services on a part-time, contract basis. Instead of hiring a full-time executive at $200K+ per year, you get senior technical leadership for 10-40 hours per month at a fraction of the cost. You get the same strategic guidance, architecture expertise, and team leadership—just scaled to your needs and budget.
It depends on your stage and needs. Early-stage teams often do well with 5-10 hours per week for coaching and architectural guidance. Growing teams might need 20-30 hours per week for active leadership. During critical periods like product launches or major refactors, we can scale up temporarily. We start with an assessment and adjust based on your actual needs.
Both! While my primary value is in technical leadership and strategy, I'm hands-on when needed. I'll do code reviews, write critical architecture code, help with difficult technical problems, and sometimes even build initial implementations. The goal is to empower your team while ensuring critical work gets done right. We can discuss the right balance for your situation.
I adapt to your team's workflow. Common approaches include weekly strategy calls, daily/weekly standups, Slack or Teams for quick questions, code review via GitHub/GitLab, and documentation in your preferred tools. We establish clear communication expectations upfront and adjust as we go. You'll always know when to expect me and how to reach me.
Retainers have a 30-day out clause, so you're never locked in long-term if it's not working. I want this to be valuable for you—if we're not delivering results, we should part ways amicably. In practice, this rarely happens because we start with clear expectations and deliverables. Most engagements continue well beyond the initial term.
Absolutely. I understand the sensitivity of your intellectual property and technical assets. I'm happy to sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements as part of our engagement. Your code, your ideas, your property—I'm there to help, not claim ownership.
You'll see initial improvements within the first month—better processes, clearer direction, and often quick wins from technical recommendations. More significant impact (reduced technical debt, faster shipping, improved team performance) typically shows within 2-3 months. Many clients report feeling "unblocked" within weeks as their biggest technical challenges get addressed.
I'm technology-agnostic and focus on principles over specific tools. That said, I have deep experience with modern web technologies (React, Vue, Node.js, Python, PHP), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD). The goal is to help you choose and implement the right stack for YOUR needs, not push a favorite technology.
One-time projects like technical health checks, architecture reviews, or process setup are quoted upfront with clear deliverables and timelines. For example, a comprehensive technical health check with report is typically $2,500-$5,000 depending on codebase complexity. Architecture design projects range from $5,000-$15,000. You'll always know the scope and cost before we begin.
Simple! Use the contact form to schedule a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll discuss your challenges, goals, and current situation.
