I act as a part-time CTO for companies that need senior technical decision-making but are not ready for a full-time hire. I review architecture, support engineering hiring, and make sure the technology budget is spent wisely.
Founders without a technical co-founder, companies scaling their engineering team for the first time, and organizations that inherited a system from an agency or a departing CTO most often need a senior view on architecture and technology decisions before committing to a full-time hire.
I analyze the existing system for scalability, security and maintenance cost. If you rely on an external agency, I evaluate the quality of the delivered code and the value of the money being spent, regardless of who wrote it.
I work with your leadership to define a realistic technology roadmap that accounts for budget constraints and business goals. I prioritize work so that every technical decision supports a concrete company objective.
I help define roles, evaluate candidates technically, and design an interview process that actually verifies skills rather than just reading a CV. I join interviews as an independent technical expert.
For investors and boards, I prepare due diligence reports assessing code quality, technical debt, security risk and system scalability ahead of a transaction.
