What I bring
to your team

01

Technology Strategy

Roadmap definition, architecture decisions, and technical direction aligned to your business goals, not engineering for its own sake.

02

Engineering Leadership

Build and scale high-performance engineering teams. Hiring, culture, delivery excellence, and the systems that sustain them.

03

AI Enablement

Identify and deploy AI initiatives that cut cost, increase speed, and open new markets. Strategy through to implementation.

04

Technical Due Diligence

Independent assessment of technology, architecture, and team capability for investors, acquirers, and boards.

Board & Investor Advisory

Technical credibility in the room. Engineering translated into business language on calls, in decks, and in the boardroom.

Full executive capability. Part-time commitment. Access to a seasoned CTO without the $300K overhead.
