Project details
Need senior-level technical direction without hiring a full-time CTO? This service gives you direct access to 26+ years of engineering experience and hands-on CTO leadership. I help founders, startups, and growing engineering teams make strong technical decisions and fix architecture, AI strategy, cloud scalability, DevOps issues, or product direction.
You will receive a focused 5-hour Fractional CTO package where I review your product, identify problems, and guide you with practical, business-aligned solutions. Whether you're building a new system, modernizing legacy code, trying to control cloud costs, integrating AI/LLMs, or struggling with architecture decisions, I deliver clear guidance backed by real-world implementation expertise.
This is not generic advice. I provide an action-oriented architecture review, a technical strategy roadmap, and high-impact recommendations tailored to your product and growth stage. You will walk away with clarity, direction, and a prioritized plan to move forward with confidence.
