You don’t need more developers. You need clear technology leadership.
I work as a Fractional CTO for founders, hospitals, and MSMEs who are building, fixing, or scaling technology — but don’t need (or can’t afford) a full‑time CTO.
I bring 25+ years of hands‑on technology leadership (Programmer → CTO) and real‑world business judgment — not theory, slides, or jargon.
Who this is for:
- Funded or bootstrapped startups
- Healthcare & HealthTech companies
- MSMEs building internal platforms or SaaS
Fractional CTO Services
Senior Technology Leadership Without the Full‑Time Cost
The Real Problem (Why Teams Get Stuck)
Most teams don’t fail because they lack talent. They fail because no one owns the big picture.
- Common situations I step into:
- Founders managing tech without technical depth
- Developers building without product clarity
- Vendors controlling architecture decisions
- Systems growing without governance
- Costs increasing without outcomes
Code gets written. Value doesn’t get delivered.
What a Fractional CTO Actually Does
(Not what LinkedIn bios claim)
As your Fractional CTO, I:
- Own end‑to‑end technical direction
- Translate business goals into architecture decisions
- Protect you from bad tech choices
- Keep developers focused on the right work
- Ensure systems scale without chaos
I am accountable for decisions, not just advice.
My Focus Areas
Technology Strategy & Architecture
- Platform & system architecture
- Build vs buy decisions
- Scalability & reliability planning
- Cloud & infrastructure governance
Delivery & Execution Oversight
- Sprint & delivery discipline
- Tech debt control
- Vendor & development team oversight
- Cost vs value tracking
Founder & Leadership Support
- CTO‑level thinking for non‑technical founders
- Clear trade‑offs explained in business language
- Risk identification before it becomes expensive
Industries I Work With
I understand regulated environments, budget constraints, and Indian operating realities.
Healthcare & HealthTech
SaaS & Platforms
MSMEs undergoing digital transformation
Internal enterprise systems
Why Ravi (Credibility Without Noise)
- 25+ years in software engineering & leadership
- Built and scaled platforms from scratch
- Hands‑on coding, architecture, and reviews
- Experience across startups, enterprises & hospitals
- Seen both success and failure — and learned from both
I don’t sell hype. I reduce risk.
