About
From hands-on code to fractional leadership.
I've spent the last 15 years in the trenches of software — first as a developer who couldn't stop shipping, then as an engineering leader running remote teams of 40+, and now as a fractional CTO for founders who need a trusted technical partner without the full-time price tag.
Along the way I've built products for US startups, helped early-stage founders go from idea to MVP, and learned that the most expensive code is the code you write for the wrong reason. My job is to help you avoid that.
I work best with founders who care about doing things well, not just doing them fast.

Fractional CTO
