What I Do

I help teams move with clarity, focus, and velocity. Whether you're scaling up, re-architecting, or navigating uncertainty, I can help.

Fractional CTO & Technical Strategy

Whether you're between CTOs, building your first team, or need a seasoned engineering partner — I provide interim leadership to help you navigate critical inflection points and bring clarity to architecture, hiring, and scaling decisions.

Roadmapping & Product Guidance

I help teams bridge the gap between ideas and execution. From MVP scoping to multi-year roadmap planning, I align technical systems with business outcomes. I make sure you're building the right thing for the right reason.

Engineering & Architecture Support

Need hands-on help with the code? I contribute directly when it makes sense. Most of my work is in Python, React, and Next.js, focusing on early architecture decisions, developer experience, or shipping first versions.

Team Growth & Coaching

Scaling isn't just about headcount: it's about maturity, clarity, and momentum. I work with tech leads and emerging managers to grow into the next phase of their leadership and provide pulse-checks on team health.
