I'm the senior technical owner you bring in to fix broken stacks and lead growth-stage and enterprise teams — architecture, scaling, hiring, and the hard technical calls. One accountable voice with the judgment to make the decision and the hands to prove it works.
Fractional / Interim CTO
Senior technical leadership without a full-time seat — strategy, architecture, roadmap, and hiring, with one accountable owner.
Architecture & Scaling
Fix what is slowing you down and build the systems, standards, and team that hold as you grow from traction to scale.
Diligence & Audits
An independent, accountable outside voice for investors, boards, and technical due diligence — audits, risk, and the honest read.

How I Work
- $250/hour baseline or scoped project — flexible on hours to fit your stage, firm on the value
- One accountable senior owner on every engagement, not a diffused team of associates
- Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a pitch
- Deliverables you keep — reports, plans, and code are yours either way
Let's talk strategy.
