Services & Engagements

Practical ways to work together

Fractional CTO + deep bench of senior talent.
Focused on modernization & delivery.

Three ways to engage

Ongoing Partnership

A fractional CTO in your corner. Regular cadence with leadership and teams to guide architecture, roadmap, and key decisions.

Deep-Dive Assessments

Time-boxed assessments that clarify where you are, what's holding you back, and the best way forward.

Strategic Projects

Outcome-focused initiatives to modernize key systems, pilot AI, or reset delivery practices with real changes in production.

More value, faster, with higher quality.

Ongoing Partnership

For teams that want a senior technical leader aligned with their strategy. I stay close to your roadmap, people, and delivery, and help you make better decisions week after week.

Advisory

Ideal for CEOs and founders with a product and engineering team in place who need a seasoned technical sounding board.

Typical: Monthly retainer • Light to moderate time commitment

  • Standing weekly or bi-weekly call with leadership
  • Review of roadmap, architecture, and hiring plans
  • Input on “build vs buy” and vendor decisions
  • Support for key technical and product decisions

Embedded Partner

For companies in the middle of a major initiative (modernization, re-platform, AI adoption, process upgrade, or a new product push) who need hands-on technical leadership.

Typical: Monthly retainer • Higher involvement

  • Time with both executives and delivery teams
  • Deep involvement in architecture and design reviews
  • Support for product/engineering leads and managers
  • Alignment of strategy, roadmap, and execution

Deep-Dive Assessments

Time-boxed engagements designed to give you clarity on where things stand, what's really causing problems, and a practical, staged plan to move forward.

Platform Modernization Assessment

When a legacy platform is slowing you down and you're unsure whether to refactor, rebuild, or replace.

  • Current-state architecture and risk summary
  • Refactor vs. rebuild vs. replace options analysis
  • Phased modernization roadmap with milestones
  • Recommendations to de-risk migrations and cutovers

Delivery Health & Process Assessment

For teams that are struggling with predictability, quality, or constant firefighting.

  • Review of planning, estimation, and release practices
  • Analysis of bottlenecks and failure points
  • Lightweight operating model tailored to your context
  • Initial metrics and visibility to track improvements

AI Readiness & Opportunity Map

When you know you're not leveraging AI effectively and need clarity on where it will create real value for your business.

  • Assessment of data, workflows, and product surface area
  • Shortlist of high-leverage AI use cases (internal + product)
  • Prioritized 90-180 day AI implementation plan
  • Guidance on tools, vendors, and guardrails

Strategic Projects

Focused, outcome-driven projects that often follow an assessment. We agree on a clear target, time-box it, and get something real into production.

Modernization Blueprint & First Cut

From “we know we need to modernize” to a working first slice running in your environment.

  • Refined target architecture and domain boundaries
  • Implementation of an initial vertical slice (e.g., auth, payments, comms)
  • Migration and rollout strategy aligned with business milestones
  • Knowledge transfer to your internal team

AI Pilot Implementation

One or two AI-powered workflows or features that ship, are used, and can be measured.

  • Selection and design of a high-impact use case
  • Implementation within your existing stack and tools
  • Guardrails, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop considerations
  • Iteration plan based on real-world usage and feedback

Delivery Reset - 60 to 90-Day Uplift

A practical reset of how work flows through Product & Engineering, tuned to your context.

  • Clarified roles, responsibilities, and decision points
  • Planning, sprint, and release cadence that people can follow
  • Basic metrics to see if “more value, faster, higher quality” is happening
  • Improved automation and tooling support
