How I Help
Senior technical leadership across strategy, team operations, and people — the full scope of what a CTO brings, engaged at the level your business actually needs.
Technology Strategy & Advisory
Technology roadmaps, architecture decisions, vendor and platform evaluation, build-vs-buy analysis, and executive advisory. I attend your key meetings, ask the right questions, and help your leadership team make technology investments with confidence.
- Technology roadmap development and review
- Architecture and platform evaluation
- Vendor and software selection advisory
- Build-vs-buy and make-vs-outsource analysis
- Executive meeting attendance and technical advisory
- R&D direction and technology investment guidance
Technology decisions made with clarity and aligned to your business goals.
Engineering Leadership & Delivery
Oversight of your engineering team's performance, delivery cadence, and technical standards. I evaluate how your team works, identify where velocity is being lost, and help put the right practices in place. I don't write the code — I lead the people who do.
- Engineering team performance and structure review
- Software delivery and sprint cadence oversight
- Development process and SDLC evaluation
- CI/CD pipeline and quality standards review
- Technical mentorship for engineering leads
- Stakeholder and engineering team alignment
An engineering team that ships consistently and scales with your business.
Talent Strategy & Hiring Systems
Technical screening frameworks, candidate evaluation, contractor and offshore team auditing, and onboarding system design. I help you hire the right engineers, vet vendors with technical rigor, and build the team structure your business actually needs to grow.
- Custom technical screening and interview framework
- Engineering candidate evaluation and advisory
- Contractor and offshore vendor auditing
- Team structure design and role scoping
- Onboarding system and documentation design
- Ongoing talent governance and hiring advisory
Confident hiring decisions backed by rigorous technical validation.
Engagement Options
Choose the model that fits your situation. Both options include a clear scope and defined expectations — no surprises.
Fixed-Scope Project
You have a specific initiative, evaluation, or deliverable in mind. We define the scope together, agree on a flat fee, and deliver within a defined timeframe. Ideal for technology audits, process assessments, hiring framework builds, or any well-defined engagement.
- Defined deliverable and timeframe
- Flat-fee pricing — no hourly surprises
- Typical engagement: 4–8 weeks
- Executive-ready deliverable at completion
Monthly Retainer
You want a fractional CTO in your corner on an ongoing basis. Monthly availability, async communication via Slack and email, and structured attendance at your key weekly meetings. This is the closest thing to a full-time CTO — without the full-time cost.
- Asynchronous availability via Slack and email
- Attendance at key stakeholder and engineering meetings
- Ongoing architecture, team, and hiring advisory
- Predictable monthly billing
Many retainer clients begin with a fixed-scope project to get a feel for the work. But both options are available as standalone engagements — there's no required sequence.
