Technical Consulting
The right technical decision at the right time saves months and hundreds of thousands of dollars. I provide senior-level technical guidance on the decisions that define your product's future — without the cost of a full-time CTO.
Is This for You?
Who needs technical consulting?
Startup founders who need a technical voice in the room
CTOs who need a trusted second opinion on important decisions
Engineering teams that need an external perspective
Companies evaluating technical due diligence for investments
Product managers translating business requirements to technical teams
Non-technical founders trying to evaluate technical hires or vendors
What It Solves
Problems I fix with technical consulting
Big architectural decision with incomplete information
Microservices or monolith? SQL or NoSQL? React Native or native? I help you make the call with clear tradeoffs, not just opinions.
Codebase that is becoming unmanageable
Technical debt is killing velocity. I audit your architecture and give you a prioritized roadmap to get back to shipping fast.
Hiring for technical roles without technical background
You need to evaluate engineers but are not one yourself. I help you screen candidates and assess technical hires.
Vendor or technology evaluation
Need to evaluate a third-party platform, agency, or technology choice? I give you independent analysis based on your specific context.
Something is about to go wrong
I see the warning signs in your architecture before they become crises. Early intervention is always cheaper.
Bridge between business and engineering
Translating business requirements into technical scope, and technical constraints into business language.

FAQ
Common questions
How is this different from hiring a CTO?
A fractional CTO or consultant gives you senior-level guidance without the equity, salary, and overhead of a full-time hire. You get the advice when you need it, not a salary every month.
Do you implement the recommendations?
Yes. After the advisory engagement, I can move into implementation — either as a project or ongoing partnership. Advisory and execution naturally flow together.
How do I know if I need consulting vs. a developer?
If you are asking "should we do X" — you need consulting. If you know what to build — you need a developer. Most founders need both at different stages.
What if your advice is wrong?
I give you the tradeoffs, not just the answer. You make the final call with full information. My job is to make sure you are not making a $100K decision with $10 of thinking.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. I am happy to sign your standard NDA before any engagement.
What formats do you deliver in?
Written reports for architecture reviews and code audits, recorded walkthroughs for presentations, and Slack/email for ongoing advisory. Whatever works for your context.
