Fractional CTO

Many small and medium-sized businesses depend on bespoke software a lot more than they want to admit to themselves. Some would benefit from having some but have nobody who could explain to them what’s possible. What they all have in common though is that they cannot justify (or afford) to hire someone who can cover these responsibilities for them. That’s where I come in.

As a fractional CTO, I provide senior technical leadership on a part-time basis. I help you align your technology strategy with your business goals, make informed architecture decisions, and build a strong engineering team. Whether you need guidance on hiring, risk assessment, or delivery management, I can step in to provide the expertise you need without the overhead of a full-time CTO.

I promise to always be honest with you about the state of your technology and the risks involved. My goal is to help you make informed decisions that will set your company up for long-term success. I will do my best to give good advice without trying to convince you of things you don’t want to do. I will also make sure that the advice I give is actionable and that you can implement it with your existing team.

I have many years of experience of working with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike. I know how to communicate without the jargon making sure that you understand the challenges to respond to as well as the proposed solutions. I will work with you to identify the most critical areas of your technology stack and help you make informed decisions that will have a real impact on your business.
