Fractional CTO Services
Not every company needs a full-time CTO—but most still need solid technical leadership.
If you’re scaling a product, modernizing a legacy platform, or making high-impact engineering decisions without a seasoned lead in place, I offer fractional CTO support built around experience, not theory.
What I Help With
- Architectural reviews, technical planning, and system audits
- Vendor and platform selection (queues, auth, infrastructure)
- Team structure recommendations and hiring input
- Migration and modernization guidance (e.g., PHP → Go)
- Security, scalability, and delivery best practices
- Developer coaching or onboarding support
Engagement Format
- Weekly syncs + async support via email or chat
- Flat hourly or monthly retainer
- Typically 4–10 hours/week depending on involvement
Why Work With Me?
- 30+ years experience building and shipping software
- Deep background in both legacy systems and modern Go-based architectures
- Successfully migrated and scaled multiple platforms (e.g., Vueterix, dittos.io)
- Focused on getting it done, not writing decks
Ideal Fit
- Founders and teams with technical debt or scaling friction
- Agencies delivering custom platforms and needing oversight
- SaaS companies between Seed and Series B who need architecture sanity without full-time burn

Modernizing a critical platform or scaling your infrastructure takes more than code—it takes experienced technical leadership. If you need strategic oversight without a full-time hire, I offer architecture, guidance, and execution support tailored to your needs.
