Fractional CTO · Advisor · Lecturer

I help founders make the technology calls they can't afford to get wrong.

I've built and shipped software that sells, mostly in hard markets. Bring me in as a fractional CTO or advisor when a technology decision is too expensive to get wrong, or when the team making those decisions isn't there yet.

Who I work with

In order of where I spend most of my time.

01

Startups & SMEs

The challenge

You're making technology bets you can't walk back, with a team that's still forming.

How I help

Fractional CTO and advisory; I own the hard calls with you and build the team's ability to make them without me.

02

VCs & investment firms

The challenge

You need to know whether a deal's tech is real before you wire, and your portfolio needs senior eyes.

How I help

Technical due diligence and portfolio advisory from someone who's built and sold the thing, not just read the pitch.

03

NGOs & institutions

The challenge

You're under pressure to digitize without the budget or staff of a tech company.

How I help

Pragmatic technology strategy that fits your constraints, not a vendor's roadmap.
