I'm a fractional CTO. Your CTO. I map where AI moves the needle in your business, build the plan, and do the work with you. No long-term contracts. No billable hours. Outcomes you can measure in dollars.

Background
I Built the Tools
Most businesses have pain in at least two of these. And it's not just costing money — it's costing time. Time is the thing you can't get back.
AI can fix it, but only if you know which process to automate and which to leave alone. Every hour spent on a manual process AI could handle is an hour not spent growing the business.
The wrong AI tool in the wrong spot makes this worse, not better. The right one changes everything. But you need someone who's built these systems to know the difference.
Building AI into a product without a technical leader is how you burn through your budget and ship nothing. You need architecture, not experimentation.
Evaluating developers, choosing vendors, approving contracts — without someone who's done this before. One wrong call sets you back months and tens of thousands of dollars.
Every engagement starts with understanding your business. No pitch decks, no pressure.
We talk about your business, your technology challenges, and whether a fractional CTO makes sense for where you are right now. No cost, no commitment.
In two weeks, I map your operations, pipeline, and product against AI opportunities. You get a dollar-valued action plan — not "you should explore AI," but "here's what to fix first and what it's worth."
If the assessment proves value, we build a retained partnership tailored to your growth stage. Diagnostic clients get 50% off their first retainer month. Advisory, hands-on, or fully embedded — your call.
Three levels of partnership, each defined by the outcome it delivers — not hours on a timesheet. No long-term contracts. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any time.
At Growth and Scale, competitor exclusivity is contractual. Your direct competitors are locked out for the duration of our partnership. That's not a policy — it's in the agreement.
Ask Me About ExclusivityRedundant vendor spend identified during a two-week Tech Check. Ten overlapping subscriptions, three unused licenses, one contract that auto-renewed for a tool they'd stopped using two years ago.
Client was about to spend $85K on a platform rebuild they didn't need. Assessment showed the real bottleneck was a $12K integration fix. Same outcome, $73K saved.
Evaluated a senior developer candidate the client was about to hire. Technical interview revealed critical skill gaps that would have cost months of rework and an eventual termination.
What takes a traditional consultant two weeks, I deliver in 48 hours. I built the tools to make that possible — 190K+ lines of production AI code. You get the same depth in a fraction of the time.
A 15-minute call where we talk about your business, your technology challenges, and whether a fractional CTO makes sense for where you are. No pitch, no pressure. If there's a fit, I'll recommend a Tech Check or Tech Deep Dive as the next step — or you can jump straight into a retainer.
If your business runs on technology and you're making decisions about tools, vendors, or hires without a technical leader — you're not too small. You're exactly who this is for. Most of my clients are between $800K and $10M in revenue.
A consultant gives advice and leaves. I'm embedded in your business as your CTO — accountable for outcomes, not deliverables. I'm in your strategy meetings, evaluating your hires, reviewing your vendors, and making sure technology is driving growth, not just keeping the lights on.
At Growth and Scale tiers, I contractually commit to not working with your direct competitors while we're partners. You name the competitors, they go in our agreement, and they're off-limits. Your CTO shouldn't be your competitor's CTO too.
All project work happens inside a retained relationship. Here's why: a one-off project without ongoing context is how businesses end up with solutions that don't fit. When I understand your business deeply, I build the right thing — not just the thing you asked for.
I bring that same depth to growing businesses because of AI. It extends my reach in ways that weren't possible two years ago.
