Senior technical guidance when you need direction, but no full-time CTO yet.

Effective strategy.Lasting architecture.Resilient teams. Pick all three.

Effective strategy. Lasting architecture. Resilient teams. Pick all three.

You don't need another consultant who hands you a slide deck and disappears. You need someone who thinks like a founder, architects like a senior engineer, and actually understands the humans building your product.

Clear decisions, solid systems, teams that deliver.

You know the pain.

Dev teams without direction

Your developers are talented, but nobody's connecting their work to actual business outcomes. Features ship. Value doesn't. And nobody's asking why morale is tanking.

Tech debt eating you alive

Every new feature takes twice as long as the last. Your codebase is a house of cards and everyone's afraid to touch it.

A full-time CTO is overkill

You need senior technical leadership, not unnecessary cost on your books. You need strategic guidance, not another seat at the all-hands.

Proposals are hard to judge

Agencies and freelancers promise a lot. Some proposals are worth it. Some bundle in work you pay for but do not need yet. You need someone in your corner.

Who I work best with.

You're early-stage, scaling, or building software in a company where tech is not the core business
You need CTO-level judgment without adding a permanent role too early
Your dev team is small, new, or held together with agency contracts
You're hiring senior engineers and the cost of a bad hire is high

What I actually do.

Technical Strategy

Architecture decisions, build vs. buy analysis, technology selection. The decisions that keep you from burning runway down the road.

AI & Data

From LLM integrations to data pipelines. Practical AI that solves real problems, not hype-driven demos. Certified AI Engineering Expert, currently deepening the craft with an M.Sc. in Data Science.

Team & People

Hiring, mentoring, conflict resolution, motivation. A psychology background means I don't just manage developers. I understand what makes them tick and what makes them quit.

System Architecture

Cloud infrastructure, microservices, API design. Scalable systems that don't collapse when user numbers grow.

Mobile & Web

Cross-platform, Android & iOS, modern web stacks. I've shipped production apps, not just drawn wireframes.

Vendor & Due Diligence

Supporting Tenders, evaluating proposals, auditing codebases, assessing tech stacks before acquisition. Your technical BS filter.

Results that back this up.

Stabilizing a data platform for the startup ecosystem

Interim CTO

Took over a struggling startup ecosystem data platform, reduced complexity, and led the shift to a simpler, maintainable setup.

Scaling engineering teams in a fast-growing agency

Head of Frontend Engineering

Led a growing frontend team, supported recruiting, stabilized delivery, and helped shape technical concepts for new client projects.

Launching a mobile credit card product in a traditional bank

Senior Mobile Engineer

Built and scaled a mobile credit card app inside a bank, including early Apple Pay integration and team handover.

Easy to work with.
