Fractional CTO & Strategic Tech Advisory for Visionary Founders and Investors

Clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward. I help early-stage teams de-risk decisions, build scalable systems, and attract investment—without the overhead of a full-time CTO.

Who I Work With

I partner with early-stage founders, investors, and lean teams making high-leverage product or funding decisions. Whether you're sketching out an MVP, planning a tech audit, or building momentum post-funding—I help turn ambiguity into clear, scalable action.

What I Offer

I work with founders, investors, and small teams at critical inflection points. My consulting services are designed to deliver high-leverage insights, actionable clarity, and flexible technical leadership when it matters most.

My Approach

My Approach

No long sales pitches or boilerplate proposals. Every project starts with a diagnostic call to understand your goals, surface risks, and explore what's possible. From there:

  1. We collaborate on a context brief to align vision, constraints, and success metrics.

  2. I present a tiered proposal with pricing that reflects both value and flexibility.

To keep things simple, I include a short questionnaire directly in the booking flow. That way, we hit the ground running without extra steps.

Let's Talk

Book a 45-minute intro session. We’ll explore your goals, roadblocks, and what success looks like.

A few quick questions are built into the booking flow so we can hit the ground running.

If it makes sense to work together, the session fee is applied to your project.
