Consulting
Fractional CTO
Architecture decisions, vendor and hiring calls, and the translation between what the business wants and what engineering can commit to, on a defined number of days a month.
In short
Senior technical judgement, part time.
What we deliver
- A fixed number of days per month, agreed in advance
- Decisions recorded so the reasoning outlives the engagement
- Hiring support: scorecards, interviews, offer calibration
- An explicit goal of making the role unnecessary
A good fit when

- A board needs technical reporting a founder cannot give
- You are about to hire a CTO
