Fractional Chief Technology Officer

As your fractional¹ CTO, I provide strategic technology leadership on a flexible, part-time basis – giving you executive-level expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.

This partnership delivers clear, actionable technology strategies aligned with your business objectives. I help evaluate technologies, vendors, and architectural approaches with an emphasis on business impact rather than technical novelty. Together, we'll identify opportunities to leverage emerging technologies like AI and automation for competitive advantage while proactively addressing technical debt, security concerns, and scaling challenges before they impact your business.

What makes this relationship uniquely valuable is my ability to both chart the strategic course and rapidly prototype solutions to validate our direction – ensuring your technology investments deliver measurable returns. When you need to make critical technology decisions, I provide both the strategic vision and practical validation to move forward with confidence.

Product Development

I help bring your product vision to life through a process that emphasizes Design Thinking, speed, validation, and business value. Starting with a human-centered approach, we explore user needs and pain points before defining solutions. From initial concept to market-ready products, we move through ideation to functional prototypes that test market assumptions and gather user feedback. This Design Thinking methodology ensures we're solving real problems and building something people actually want before significant resources are invested.

For organizations exploring AI, I implement production-ready solutions using LangChain, Python, and other modern AI frameworks. This work extends beyond prototypes to building minimum viable products that focus on core value while establishing a foundation for growth. Throughout the process, I design scalable technical architectures that can evolve with your business needs.

Recent projects include developing custom AI tools that evolved into revenue-generating products and creating platforms that opened new market opportunities for established businesses. By maintaining short feedback loops and close collaboration, we can move quickly while ensuring technology choices align with your business goals.

Technical Leadership

For organizations with existing technical teams, I provide hands-on leadership to enhance capabilities and outcomes. I work alongside your developers to tackle complex technical challenges, upskilling your team through collaborative development and targeted knowledge sharing. This approach improves not just your current projects but your team's capacity to handle future challenges.

I help implement appropriate agile methodologies and DevOps practices tailored specifically to your organization's culture and needs. When technical debt becomes a burden, I help strategically address legacy systems and code quality issues without disrupting ongoing operations.

When specialized expertise is needed for specific initiatives, I can bring in vetted technical collaborators from my professional network. These relationships, built over decades in the industry, allow me to assemble the right expertise at the right time to accelerate particular projects or overcome specific technical hurdles.
