Most early-stage founders struggle to turn an idea into a working product without overspending on the wrong tech. That is the problem I solve.

I partner with pre-seed to Series A startups as a fractional CTO, providing CTO-level guidance at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. I work alongside non-technical founders to clarify the real problem, define the right MVP, choose the right stack, and build the first engineering team.

What I bring

• Problem clarification: cutting through feature creep to find what actually needs building.
• Data-driven culture: setting up the metrics and feedback loops that drive smart product decisions.
• Technical leadership: architecture, hiring, vendor selection, and hands-on guidance.
• Founder coaching: building your tech literacy so you can ask the right questions and lead with confidence.

How I work

I take on a small number of founders at a time, on flexible retainer arrangements of typically one to two days a week. Engagements are ongoing partnerships rather than one-off audits: I stay close enough to the work to set direction, review progress, and be there when the decisions that matter come up.

Everything starts with a free 30-minute call to explore fit. If we are a match, I propose a scope. If we are not, you still walk away with a clearer view of your next step.
