As a CTO, you don't need another consultant who speaks in abstractions. You need someone who has been in the trenches... who has made the 2 AM decision about whether to roll back or push forward, who has explained technical debt to a board that just wants to know why features are slow.
I've been the technical leader at companies from seed to Series C. I've inherited codebases that made me question every architectural decision ever made, and I've built systems that scaled to millions of users without breaking. That experience is what I bring to every engagement.
My role isn't to replace your judgment... it's to augment it. When you're evaluating a major architecture change, I'm the person who asks the questions your team might not think to ask. When you're hiring a VP of Engineering, I'm the one who can calibrate your interview process against what high-performing teams actually need. When an incident happens, I'm the advisor who helps you conduct a blameless post-mortem that actually improves the system.
I work with CTOs on retainer because technical leadership is a continuous challenge, not a project. The most valuable conversations happen when I understand your codebase, your team dynamics, and your business context deeply enough to give advice that accounts for your specific constraints.
The goal isn't to create dependency... it's to level up your team's capabilities while providing you with a thinking partner who has no internal politics to navigate. I'm here for the decisions that keep you up at night.
