You do not need a full-time CTO. You need someone who has shipped production platforms, knows when to build vs. buy, and can make the technical calls that keep your startup moving fast without accumulating crippling tech debt.
I work as a fractional tech partner for early-stage and growth-stage startups. I handle architecture decisions, technical strategy, team hiring, code reviews, and hands-on building so you can focus on product and customers.
Most founders start with 10–15 hours per week. We set up a regular async rhythm (Slack, Loom, docs) plus a weekly sync. I am embedded in your workflow, not a consultant who shows up once a month with a slide deck. You get the strategic thinking of a CTO and the execution ability of a senior engineer in one person.
Design scalable systems from day one — multi-tenant SaaS, AI-native products, marketplace platforms. Architecture Decision Records, system design documents, and a clear technical roadmap aligned with your product milestones.
Evaluate tools, frameworks, and vendors so you do not waste months on the wrong stack. Structured evaluation frameworks, proof-of-concept validation, and vendor negotiation support.
Write technical job specs, screen candidates, conduct technical interviews, and onboard new engineers. Define your engineering culture, processes, and standards from the start.
Review PRs, enforce coding standards, and catch architectural drift before it becomes expensive. Establish testing practices, CI/CD standards, and performance budgets.
Evaluate where LLMs, AI agents, and automation actually add value vs. where they are hype. Build AI roadmaps, run proof-of-concept evaluations, and avoid the costly mistakes of premature AI adoption.
Prepare your codebase, architecture documentation, technical roadmap, and engineering metrics for investor due diligence. Present the technical side of your startup with the same polish as the business side.
Deep dive into your current stack, team, product roadmap, and technical debt. We establish a working rhythm — async communication channels, documentation standards, tooling setup, and a prioritised backlog of technical initiatives.
Establish the technical foundation: architecture decisions, tool selection, coding standards, CI/CD pipeline, and engineering processes. Produce Architecture Decision Records for every significant choice so your future team understands the reasoning.
Regular async and sync engagement. Hands-on building, code reviews, technical guidance, and escalation handling. I am embedded in your team's workflow — reviewing PRs, unblocking engineers, and making technical calls as they arise.
When you are ready to hire a full-time CTO or scale the engineering team, I structure a phased handover with complete documentation, institutional knowledge transfer, and hiring support for your permanent technical leader.
Cosmeticure was a growing aesthetics practice chain with ambitious plans for digital transformation but no internal technical leadership. They had been burned by agency relationships, had accumulated significant technical debt in their booking and patient management systems, and needed someone to own the technical strategy while building an internal engineering team.
I joined as fractional tech partner, starting with a comprehensive technical assessment and architecture overhaul. Over six months, I established engineering standards, rebuilt the patient management system with a modern Next.js architecture, mentored their first three engineering hires, and prepared their technical documentation for a Series A fundraise.

"App Corp delivered a production-ready AI platform in 11 weeks that our internal team estimated would take 9 months. The architecture is clean, the docs are thorough, and the product works exactly as specified."
