You're probably here because something isn't working. The architecture won't scale, the team is stuck, or there's a big decision and no one in the room has done it before. I've been on the other side of all of those. Let's talk.
You need a CTO but not five days a week and not at full-time cost. I join your team, not as an outside advisor who drops in for a call, but as part of the crew. I sit in the standups, I read the PRs, I know the codebase.
I've done this across payments, streaming, edtech and SaaS. The pattern is always the same: align the tech to the business goal, invest in the people, cut through the noise. Nothing is more meaningful to me than having a positive impact on the people I work with. That's what drives the work.
You're about to raise, acquire, or bet the company on a platform you didn't build. You need someone who'll open the hood and tell you what's actually in there. Architecture, debt, security, team capacity. No sugarcoating.
I've done this for payment processors dealing with PCI compliance, SaaS platforms mid-acquisition, and early-stage startups proving their stack to investors. You get a report you can act on, not a slide deck you can't.
Sometimes you just need someone who's been there to think out loud with. No deliverables, no scope doc. Just a recurring call where you can pressure-test ideas, talk through a pivot, or sanity-check an architecture decision before you commit.
I do this with founders, CTOs and board members. Think of it as the conversation you'd have with a co-founder who happens to have 15 years of building teams across four countries and more industries than he can count.
I keep meetings short and I respect your time. 30 minutes is usually enough to figure out if I can help and what that looks like.
