Fractional CTO & Technical Advisory

Part-time technical leadership for companies that need senior architecture guidance without a full-time hire.

Not every company needs a full-time CTO, but every company making technology decisions needs someone who has built and operated production systems. We provide senior technical leadership on a part-time or project basis — architecture oversight, team mentoring, vendor evaluation, and strategic technology direction from someone who has been doing this for 30 years.

What We Deliver

Architecture Oversight

Review and guide your technical architecture decisions. Whether you're building a new product or scaling an existing one, get input from someone who has designed systems serving hundreds of concurrent clients.

Team Mentoring & Hiring

Help your development team level up. We provide code reviews, architecture guidance, and mentoring. When you're hiring, we help evaluate candidates and define technical roles.

Vendor & Technology Evaluation

Cut through vendor pitches with an independent technical perspective. We evaluate platforms, tools, and service providers based on what actually works in production — not what looks good in a demo.

Strategic Roadmap

Align your technology investments with business goals. We help prioritize what to build, what to buy, and what to defer — with realistic timelines and budgets based on hands-on experience.

Our Process

Assessment

Review your current technology landscape, team capabilities, and business objectives.

Engagement Model

Define the right level of involvement — weekly advisory, monthly reviews, or project-based deep dives.

Active Advisory

Participate in architecture decisions, team meetings, and technical planning as a trusted extension of your leadership.

Knowledge Transfer

Document decisions and rationale so your team can operate independently as they grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours per week does this typically involve?

It varies by need. Some clients need 5-10 hours per week, others need a full day per month for strategic reviews. We structure engagements around what actually moves the needle for your business.

Can you work with our existing development team?

That's the primary model. We work alongside your team as a senior technical resource — guiding architecture, reviewing code, and mentoring developers. We're not replacing anyone, we're making your team more effective.

What industries have you worked in?

Fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, regulated industries (age verification, identity compliance), media/streaming, and professional services. The architectural principles transfer across industries — scalability, security, and maintainability are universal.
