FRACTIONAL CTO & HANDS-ON ENGINEERING ADVISOR

Clear direction.
Deadlines met.

I help founders and software teams make the hard technical calls, clear what's blocking delivery and ship what they promised.

Three ways to work together

WAY 1 OF 3 · A GOOD FIRST STEP

Technical & delivery assessment

A clear view of the problem, its risks and your next 90 days, before you commit more time and money.

YOU GET

  • An executive summary of the important findings
  • Prioritised risks, with the evidence
  • Practical options and recommendations
  • A 90-day plan and a decision workshop

One product and one team, timed around access and complexity.

Discuss an assessment

BEST WHEN

  • Delivery keeps slipping.
  • A big technical decision is coming: a migration, rewrite, integration or supplier.

WAY 2 OF 3 · ONGOING

Fractional technical leadership

Senior technical leadership in your team on an agreed monthly cadence, without a full-time executive hire.

CAN INCLUDE

  • Technical direction and architecture review
  • Delivery planning and prioritisation
  • Coaching and decision support for engineers
  • Executive updates and selected hands-on work

A defined monthly allocation, with responsibilities agreed upfront.

Discuss fractional leadership

BEST WHEN

  • Your team needs experienced technical leadership now.
  • Important work still depends on manual coordination between teams.

WAY 3 OF 3 · AI INTEGRATION

AI integration support

AI in your product, tooling or workflows, built to be accurate and maintained by your own team.

CAN INCLUDE

  • Where AI helps, and where it doesn't
  • Agent skills, tools and platform integrations
  • AI features with evaluation built in
  • Documentation and handover your team can run

Scoped as an assessment, a defined build or part of fractional leadership.

Discuss AI integration

BEST WHEN

  • You want AI doing real work, not demos.
  • AI assistants need to use your platform or API correctly.
