What I Do
I work with Seed to Series B startups to build scalable technology, fix delivery bottlenecks, and prepare for funding rounds—without over-hiring or painful rewrites.
Most clients engage me 1–3 days per week, getting CTO-level expertise without the cost of a full-time hire.
Core Services:
- Technical strategy & scalable architecture
- Engineering team building & leadership
- Code quality, CI/CD, and delivery optimisation
- AI integration (Generative, Evaluative, Agentic)
- SOC2 / ISO27001 compliance preparation
