Fractional CTO

I make the call, build the thing, and keep it running.

Most small businesses end up with a codebase nobody can maintain. I take responsibility for the whole technical side — the decisions, the delivery, and the part where it keeps working.

Agents make throughput cheap. What you're hiring is the judgment — vision for where this goes, and taste for when it's right.

Engagements start at $3,500/month.

How I work

I think a couple of years ahead of where you are now, so the decisions we make this quarter don't become the thing you have to undo next year. That's most of what senior judgment actually buys you.

And I care what your software feels like to use, not just whether it runs — the difference between software people tolerate and software they trust. Built on tools that are fast to ship and easy to maintain: Flutter, Next.js, Supabase.
