Service

Technical Advisor

You don't need a full-time CTO yet, but you do need someone senior making the technical calls. I plug in as your fractional CTO: reviewing architecture decisions before they become expensive, sitting in on technical hires, and keeping the roadmap honest about what's actually buildable in your timeline.

What you get

Senior judgment without the salary

Get staff/principal-level technical decisions without a $200k+ full-time hire.

Hire the right engineers

I sit in on interviews and review take-homes so your first technical hires are the right ones.

Catch expensive mistakes early

Architecture reviews before you build, not a rewrite six months after you ship wrong.

Investor-ready technical story

Clear, defensible answers when investors or acquirers ask about your stack and scalability.

No agency layer

You talk directly to the person doing the thinking — same as every other engagement here.
