Three lanes. One operator. Senior at every step.
Most engagements fall cleanly into one of these. If yours sits in between, that's usually a sign there's a good first project hiding inside it.
AI integration & automation
Embedding AI into the product and the workflow — where it earns its keep.
Product engineering & fractional CTO
Senior product engineering, embedded — without the hiring runway.
Custom internal tools & dashboards
Bespoke ops software your team actually uses, shipped in days not quarters.
How engagements usually start.
-
A discovery sprint (1 week)
When you can name the *area* but not the *project*. We come out with a prioritised plan and a fixed scope for the next step.
-
A build-and-handover (4–8 weeks)
When you already know what you want shipped. Fixed-price, end-to-end, with the docs and dashboards that let your team own it on day one.
-
A fractional CTO retainer (3+ months)
When the gap is judgement and weekly leadership, not throughput. 1–2 days/week, in the work, with a 90-day review.
Let’s see if there’s a fit.
A 30-minute call. I'll ask honest questions, and you'll get honest answers about whether I can help — and whether you should hire me at all.
