Senior tech leadership, without the full-time CTO
I'm a fractional CTO with 20+ years founding and scaling startups. I help growing companies cut wasted hours, fix fragile systems, and put AI to work where it pays off, with a clear roadmap and hands-on help delivering it.
I'm a growth-focused fractional CTO.
I can guide your business through digital transformation. With my 20+ years of business and software expertise, I can help when you lack a clear direction.
Leveraging tech & AI
Find the best ways to integrate technology and AI into your business. With my experience running my own startups, I can help you find how to prioritize business needs using technology.
Leading teams
I can get into the nitty-gritty and directly assist your technical team. I can help them map out architecture, cloud strategy, manage security, and improve client-facing portions.
Digital transformation
Being analog isn't always the best solution, especially as a modern company. I can help legacy companies find the best ways to integrate technology into their operations, and digitally transform.
Second opinion
Lacking inspiration or ideas? Having trouble making decisions? I can help you get technical and business advice from an external source. I'll be neutral and will focus on what's best for your business.
Who do I work with?
Some clients have no tech team yet, some have engineers but no senior lead, and some have a strong CTO who wants an outside view. Wherever you're starting from, I can fit in.
Traditional businesses
Are you a legacy business seeking digital transformation? I can help you find the best course of action. Adapted to your business needs.
Late-stage startups
You've got your funding but need guidance on how to scale? I will look at the big picture and find the best way to upgrade through the latest technology.

I've helped big & small companies. In major ways.
Supercharged developer velocity.
Careflow is a healthtech startup helping care providers manage high-risk patients. As it grew, costs and delivery speed had to keep pace. I led cloud strategy and software architecture, and kept the team focused on the higher-level issues, cutting operating costs along the way.
Scaled to a successful exit.
Schmooze was formed around FreePBX, the open-source phone system platform built on Asterisk. The challenge was turning a community project into a growing business. I designed solutions and architecture, set feature priorities, managed the community, and became part of the management team.
