Fractional CTO Services

What's Included

Fractional CTO is not consulting from the sidelines. It's active, hands-on technical leadership:

• Technology Strategy - Define tech stack, build roadmaps, evaluate new tools and frameworks
• Architecture Design - Design systems, review architecture decisions, ensure scalability
• Code Review & Quality - Review critical code, establish standards, improve quality
• Team Mentoring - Mentor senior engineers, provide guidance on technical decisions
• Hiring Guidance - Define technical requirements, interview candidates, build team
• Project Leadership - Lead critical projects, unblock teams, manage technical risk
• Business Alignment - Translate business needs into technical strategy, manage trade-offs
• Risk Management - Identify technical debt, prioritize improvements, plan migrations

How It Works

You get a dedicated CTO who understands your business and technology. Weekly sync meetings, code reviews, architecture decisions, and ongoing guidance. I'm available for critical decisions and problems as they arise. Not part-time advice—active leadership.

When This Service Fits

• Early-stage startup scaling from 5-30 engineers
• Company without a CTO needing technical leadership
• CTO on leave or transitioning, need temporary leadership
• Technical team needs mentoring and direction
• Major architecture decision or tech debt cleanup needed
• Building complex systems requiring senior oversight

Not a Good Fit If

You need someone to just attend meetings and nod. You need someone who can code review, make decisions, and commit to the success of your technical decisions. If you want a full-time hire, I can help you hire that person, but this service is for active leadership.
