Your Startup's Growth Partner. On Demand.
Building a product today is no longer about brute-force development. It's about clarity, pace, and making the right decisions at the right time. Most founders don't need a full-time CTO - they need someone who can design the system, steer the product, protect them from technical debt, and deliver real progress every week without slowing the business down.
I work with teams who value speed, precision, and senior-level judgement. Whether you're refining an existing product or starting from zero, my role is to remove uncertainty: shaping the architecture, planning the delivery, and ensuring every hour spent pushes the product forward.
How founders typically work with me
Early-stage support
You have an idea, an early prototype, or a few customers but no predictable roadmap. I stabilise your foundations - cleaning up the tech, shaping product direction, and making the next steps clear and realistic - so you avoid expensive mistakes and protect your runway.
MVP & product building
For founders ready to launch something real, I take an active role: designing the architecture, planning the system, and building or supervising the build. An MVP isn't just features - it's making sure those features are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with the long-term vision.
Fractional CTO
Some teams want more than delivery - they want technical leadership. I own the roadmap, prioritisation, infrastructure, and development process, working as part of your leadership team and preparing the product for scale, investment, or both.
High-level technical direction
For mature or funded teams, I operate as a strategic architect: reviewing systems, designing standards, and unblocking teams without writing code. Advisory-level work at CTO seniority - long-term, low-frequency, high-impact.
Better decisions, faster
19+ years in design and development
I've led and scaled multiple early-stage products across marketplaces, SaaS, and AI startups - combining a product-first mindset with deep technical experience in React, Node.js, and scalable backend systems.

From pre-seed to Series A, with proven product thinking - not just code. Available weekly or monthly depending on your needs.
