Fractional CTO & Advisory

Senior tech guidance, when you need it

Not every business needs a full-time CTO, but every business making technology decisions needs someone in their corner who has actually built and run these systems. We act as your de-facto, on-call CTO — the technical partner you call before you buy or sign anything, without the six-figure salary.

This is advisory work grounded in real implementation. We have designed, built, and operated production systems — so when we weigh in on a technology choice, it comes from shipping things, not from reading vendor brochures.

What we advise on

• Every tech decision — websites and software, security systems, IT, business phones, and asset / fleet tracking
• Build vs. buy — vendor selection and platform comparisons with hands-on testing, not guesswork
• Vendor management — we speak the technical language with your SaaS providers, installers, and partners so you don't get oversold
• Roadmap planning — sequencing projects for the most impact with the least risk and cost
• Team & oversight — guiding your staff or contractors and keeping builds on track

Who this is for

For owners who've been pitched a dozen tools and can't tell which are real, who are about to spend on a system and want a second opinion, or who simply want one trusted person responsible for the technology side of the business. You bring the goals; we bring the judgment.

How we work

Engagements start with a discovery call to understand where you are and where you're headed. From there we set a simple monthly retainer for on-call advisory and oversight. And when the advice turns into something worth building, we can shift into hands-on mode — always transparent about when you need strategy versus execution.
