Fractional CTO

Senior tech leadership.
On your schedule.

Not every company needs a full-time CTO. But every company needs someone who can make the right technical decisions. We provide senior engineering leadership part-time at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.

What You Get

Everything a CTO does, part-time

Technical Strategy

Define your technology roadmap, choose the right stack, plan for scale, and align engineering decisions with business goals.

Architecture & Code Review

Review your codebase, identify technical debt, design systems that scale, and establish coding standards that your team can actually follow.

Engineering Team Mentoring

Level up your developers with code reviews, pair programming, 1:1 mentoring, and engineering process improvements. Build a team that ships with confidence.

Vendor & Technology Evaluation

Cut through the noise. We evaluate tools, platforms, and vendors with hands-on technical depth so you make informed decisions, not expensive mistakes.

Security & Compliance

Security audits, threat modeling, data protection strategy, and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA). Build trust with your customers.

DevOps & Infrastructure

CI/CD pipelines, cloud architecture, monitoring, and deployment automation. Stop deploying on Fridays. Start deploying with confidence.
