About
Fractional CTO with a transparent, product-first focus
I’ve spent over twenty five years building systems and leading engineering teams. I have seen startups grow and scale up. My work spans early MVPs to scaled platforms, with a focus on clarity, humane leadership, and systems that can survive success.
Philosophy
Results based fractional leadership
Fractional isn’t half strength — it’s precise presence. You get the judgment, frameworks, and calm escalation paths that change outcomes.
How I work
Short, focused engagements with clear goals. Tight communication loops, crisp documentation, and decision logs that keep everyone aligned.
What to expect
Calm leadership, pragmatic architecture, and a bias for measurable outcomes. All whilst respecting your business goals and team's bandwidth.
