What I Do

Fractional CTO , Technical Strategist and Engineering Lead

Strategy & Vision

Architecture & Platforms

Design cloud, data, and SaaS architectures that teams can evolve confidently as the product and organization scale.

Product & Technical Strategy

Define pragmatic product and technology roadmaps that balance business goals, engineering reality, and time-to-market.

AI Systems & Context Engineering

Design and integrate AI-driven, context-aware systems that augment teams, automate decisions, and scale organizational intelligence.

Data & Intelligence Engineering

Design and build scalable data platforms—lakes, pipelines, and AI-ready systems—that turn raw data into analytics, automation, and intelligent products.

Reliability & Performance Engineering

Design systems and operating practices that improve uptime, resilience, observability, and performance as products and teams scale.

Execution & Operating Model

Define how work is planned, prioritized, and delivered so teams make progress, learn quickly, and adapt as conditions change.

Technical Leadership & Team Enablement

Provide senior technical leadership—aligning direction, improving workflows, strengthening onboarding and mentoring—without the overhead of a full-time CTO.

Modernization & Transformation

Deliver stepwise modernization that improves systems, workflows, and outcomes without blowing up the business or rewriting everything at once.
