How I Work
Services
Monthly retainer, not hourly. Strategic thinking included — not just keyboard time.
The Offering
I’m a VP-level technical leader who has mastered AI-augmented development. I operate as a one-person engineering team — architecture, full-stack development, mobile, DevOps, and infrastructure — with the output of a 3–5 person team. I bring a product mindset focused on building things people actually pay for, not just things that are technically interesting.
My background spans investment banking, startup leadership, and building consumer products from zero to launch.
Fractional CTO / Engineering Leadership
Technical strategy and architecture decisions that shape your product’s future. Code review standards that elevate your entire team. Workflow optimization that multiplies engineering velocity. AI tool integration that transforms how your team ships.
Best for: Startups with 1–5 engineers who need senior technical leadership without the full-time executive cost.
AI-Augmented Development
Full-stack feature development at an accelerated pace. I orchestrate AI agents across parallel workstreams with automated quality gates and verification loops. The result: production-quality systems across web, mobile, and desktop — shipped faster than traditional teams.
Best for: Companies that need features shipped quickly by someone who can own the full stack.
Technical Architecture & Strategy
System design and data modeling for products that need to scale. Infrastructure and DevOps that won’t break at 10x load. Performance optimization that turns slow pages into fast ones. Technology evaluation that cuts through vendor noise.
Best for: Teams facing architectural decisions or scaling challenges.
How Engagement Works
| Model | Monthly retainer |
| Commitment | One dedicated deep-work day per week |
| Availability | Async throughout the week — code reviews, architecture questions, product thinking |
| Term | 3-month initial commitment, then month-to-month |
| Scope | Strategic thinking is included. You’re not paying for keystrokes — you’re paying for judgment. |
The equivalent capability as a hired team would be a VP of Engineering, two senior engineers, and a DevOps engineer — roughly $65,000/month fully loaded. A retainer with me is a fraction of that, and you get someone who has proven they can do all of it solo.
