A technical partner to help
you build the right thing—
faster.

I help early-stage founders ship high-quality software with confidence—
whether that means building the first version, reviewing architecture,
managing consultants, or using AI to move faster.

Let's talk about your startup →

Who I Work With

You're a non-technical founder, or a small startup team, trying to:

Turn a product vision into working software

Make early architecture decisions that won't impede progress later

Add AI features or speed up development using AI tools

Vet engineers or consultants you've hired

Avoid wasting time on the wrong build

That's where I come in.

How I Help

Fractional CTO

For early-stage startups without a technical co-founder or those who need interim leadership.

  • Team and individual coaching
  • Make or advise on architecture and stack decisions
  • Anticipate architecture trade-offs and provide recommendations to build for impact, speed, and quality
  • Set up product and development processes
  • Translate business goals into technical execution

"Think of me as your co-founder-level advisor who knows when to ship fast and when to build strong foundations."

Hands-On
Engineering

Sometimes you need someone to roll up their sleeves:

  • Build prototypes or MVP features
  • Write tests, reviews, and refactor core logic
  • Pair with your team to level up quality and velocity
  • Audit your codebase and processes

Coaching and
Mentorship

Guiding engineers and technical leaders to grow with confidence—through hands-on pairing, thoughtful feedback, and practical strategy.

  • Mentor senior ICs and emerging tech leads
  • Guide teams through architecture, code reviews, and decision-making
  • Improve communication across engineering and product
  • Train engineers to work more effectively with AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code
  • Build a culture of ownership, clarity, and technical excellence

Why Work With Me?

I've led engineering at venture-backed startups, scaled teams from 0 to 50+, and helped build FDA-cleared software. With deep executive and hands-on experience, I bring calm, clarity, and momentum to fast-moving, high-stakes environments. I'm a builder who knows how to ship—consistently and strategically.

Whether you need technical leadership or hands-on support,
I'm here to help you build smarter and efficiently.
