Who I Serve

- Build vs. buy decisions
- First engineering hires and team structure
- Investor and board technical readiness
For Scale-ups
I support growth-stage companies scaling their technology and teams. Ideal when you're scaling post-Series B, integrating acquisitions, or need experienced leadership during a transition—without committing to a full-time CTO yet.
- Architecture evolution and technical debt reduction
- Team scaling, org design, and leadership development
- M&A technical due diligence and integration
