Technical Advisory
Fractional CTO and Technical Advisor
Architecture reviews, code audits and MVP scoping for founders who need senior technical judgement without a full-time CTO.
How I can help
Early technical decisions are expensive to undo. As a fractional CTO and technical advisor, I help founders make those decisions with confidence, without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
I review architecture and code, scope MVPs realistically, help choose a technology stack, and support hiring or guide an existing development team.
A great fit for
- Non-technical founders planning a software product
- Startups that need a second opinion on their architecture
- Businesses managing an external or junior development team

Frequently asked questions
Have a different question? Ask me directly.
What is a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO is a senior technical leader who works with you part time. You get strategic technology guidance and oversight without the cost of a full-time executive.
Can you review code written by another agency or freelancer?
Yes. Independent code reviews are a common starting point. You receive a clear report on quality, security and risks, with practical next steps.
How is advisory work structured?
Either as a one-off review or as ongoing sessions each month, depending on how much support your team needs. We agree the format during the first call.
