Fractional CTO for Your Business

Senior technology leadership without the full-time cost. I diagnose what's broken, build a roadmap, and do the work.

The problem

You're making technology decisions without a technology person. Every vendor pitch sounds reasonable, every quote seems like it could be right, and you have no way to tell.

You've been burned by developers who built the wrong thing. They wrote code, sent invoices, and six months later you're back to spreadsheets.

You need someone who understands the business side, not just the code. Most developers solve for what's technically interesting. You need someone who solves for what moves the needle.

What a fractional CTO actually does

A fractional CTO gives you senior technology leadership on your terms — a few hours a week or a few days a month. I figure out what's broken, build a plan, and then do the work. Most fractional CTOs just advise. I build.

Diagnosis & Audit

I map your current systems, workflows, and pain points. Before recommending anything, I understand how your business actually runs.

Technology Roadmap

A clear plan for what to build, what to buy, and what to leave alone — prioritized by business impact, not technical novelty.

Vendor & Tool Evaluation

When you need outside software or a third-party service, I evaluate options and make sure you're not overpaying or overbuilding.

Build vs. Buy Decisions

Not everything needs custom code. I'll tell you when off-the-shelf works — and when it's going to cost you more in the long run.

Hands-On Implementation

I don't just advise and disappear. I write the code, configure the tools, and ship working software.

Ongoing Advisory

Technology questions don't stop after launch. I stay available for the decisions that come up every week — the ones that used to keep you guessing.

How It Works

Discovery Call

30 minutes. You tell me what's not working. I ask the questions your last developer didn't.

Diagnosis

I audit your systems, workflows, and tech stack. You get a clear picture of what's costing you time and money.

Roadmap & Build

We prioritize by impact. Then I build it — or bring in the right people if the project needs a team.

Ongoing Support

Technology decisions don't stop. I stay in your corner for the questions that come up every week.

Who this is for

This works best for small businesses doing $1M–$10M in revenue who've outgrown spreadsheets and manual processes but aren't ready to hire a full engineering team.

You run a business with 5–50 employees and technology decisions keep landing on someone's desk who didn't sign up for them.

You're growing and your current tools can't keep up — but you're not sure what to replace them with.

You've spent money on software that didn't work out and you want to get it right this time.

You need a technical partner you can call when questions come up, not a vendor who disappears after the invoice.

After we figure out what's broken, the fix usually looks like one of these

Every engagement starts with diagnosis. Once I understand the problem, I build the solution — or help you find the right one.
