Fractional CTO and technical leadership

Architecture, delivery planning and hands-on AI engineering for product teams that need technical decisions connected to working software.

Technical leadership that stays close to the implementation

I work with product teams that need architecture decisions, delivery planning and hands-on engineering in the same conversation. As co-founder and CTO of ShelfSignal, I designed the architecture and built its core measurement pipeline. Earlier, I led developers and QA at TypingMaster and worked on SaaS and data-intensive platforms.

This service is for founders and product leads who need to make the next technical decision with evidence: what to build first, where the system is fragile, what the team can support and how to know whether a change worked.

Where I can help

  • Review the architecture, interfaces, data model and operational risks of a product.
  • Translate product goals into a narrow, reviewable technical plan.
  • Evaluate AI features using explicit tasks, structured outputs and failure analysis.
  • Support code review, mentoring, hiring discussions and delivery planning.
  • Work with engineers on the implementation rather than handing over a disconnected strategy document.

Experience behind the work

My portfolio spans nearly two decades of production web development. At TypingMaster I led a team of developers and QA over twelve years. Typetastic’s reported scale was about four million students; that is product reach, not a personal delivery metric. At ShelfSignal, the architecture and core pipeline are direct examples of my hands-on CTO work.

Start with the decision you need to make

Tell me the team size, product stage, existing stack and the decision that is blocking progress. A review and an implementation engagement are different scopes. Availability, responsibilities and a delivery plan are agreed after that context is clear.

If your need is a senior engineering role rather than consulting, include that in your message. The same background can be relevant, but employment and a fractional engagement are not interchangeable.
