Providing high-impact Fractional CTO services to startups and growing enterprises. I show you how to untangle legacy systems, reduce transformation risk, and execute modernization initiatives with clarity, discipline, and real business impact.
I partner with:
- Tech-enabled companies operating on aging internal systems
- Organizations facing expensive modernization estimates
- Founders or executives lacking senior architectural leadership
- Companies where legacy systems are constraining growth
Why Fractional?
Most modernization efforts fail not because of technology but because of uncontrolled scope, unclear architecture, and misaligned execution. My role is to provide senior-level architectural leadership that reduces risk, clarifies direction, and ensures modernization serves the business not the other way around.
