I provide Fractional CTO services for companies that need senior technical leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive. A fractional CTO bridges the gap between strategy and execution, helping you make the right technology decisions, manage technical teams, and align your systems with your business goals. I work with startups, growing businesses, and established companies that need experienced technical guidance to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Technology has a habit of getting complicated fast. Systems grow without structure, vendors pile up, and the big picture starts to blur. My job as a fractional CTO is to bring that structure back. I evaluate your current technology stack, identify the weak points, and help you plan for growth in a way that’s scalable, secure, and cost-effective.
I’ve spent my career leading software development, infrastructure, and operations teams. I understand how to balance technical precision with business realities. I don’t sell software or push vendors. I focus on giving you a clean, reliable foundation that supports your goals and helps your team work efficiently.
My fractional CTO services include:
- Technology Strategy and Planning: Long-term planning for infrastructure, software development, and scalability.
- System Architecture and Infrastructure Design: Reviewing and optimizing your backend systems, cloud platforms, and DevOps pipelines.
- Team Management and Hiring: Building or restructuring technical teams, mentoring developers, and defining clear processes.
- Security and Compliance: Ensuring systems are secure, documented, and compliant with industry standards.
- Vendor and Platform Evaluation: Assessing hosting providers, cloud solutions, and SaaS tools to make sure they fit your needs.
- Process and Workflow Improvement: Streamlining development, deployment, and maintenance practices to reduce downtime and increase output.
- Budget and Cost Management: Helping you spend money on the right tools, not the trendy ones.
Most of my clients are companies that have outgrown their original setup. They need a roadmap, but they don’t need or want a full-time executive yet. I step in to organize, plan, and oversee the technical side so you can focus on running the business. That can mean modernizing legacy systems, cleaning up infrastructure, managing a rebuild, or guiding internal teams through a growth phase.
A fractional CTO works best as a long-term partner. I stay close enough to understand your business, but flexible enough to scale involvement up or down as needed. Some clients retain me monthly for ongoing oversight and planning, while others bring me in for specific milestones like system rebuilds or product launches.
If your business needs clear technical direction, better system reliability, or someone who can translate between engineering and leadership, a fractional CTO engagement is a practical way to get there.
