Executive Technical Leadership & System Audits—On Demand
Get C-suite technical strategy, cloud modernization, and architecture audits without the $150k+ full-time executive overhead.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.
Bridge the Gap Between Tech Debt and Business Scale
Early-stage startups, growing SMBs, and non-technical founders face a critical dilemma:
Hiring a full-time CTO is too expensive and premature for your current stage.
Leaving technical decisions solely to junior developers or third-party agencies leads to brittle architecture, security vulnerabilities, and runaway cloud costs.
As a former Health-Tech CTO and Enterprise Architect with 25+ years of experience, I step in to provide high-level C-suite direction. I untangle tech debt, evaluate cloud infrastructure, align product roadmaps with P&L goals, and build high-performing engineering workflows.
Comprehensive Technical Guidance Tailored to Your Stage
System & Codebase Architecture Audits
- Comprehensive Diagnostic: In-depth evaluation of your current application codebase (.NET, Java, React, Python/Node), database performance (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle), and microservices health.
- Scalability Bottlenecks: Identifying single points of failure, slow query performance, and infrastructure limits before they crash production.
- Security & Compliance: Basic vulnerability assessments and compliance readiness (HIPAA, EHR, GDPR) for sensitive domain applications.
Cloud Modernization & Tech Stack Selection
- Cloud Architecture: Transitioning legacy on-premise systems or monoliths into scalable AWS or Azure cloud infrastructures.
- Cost Optimization: Reviewing cloud resource utilization to eliminate waste and reduce monthly hosting bills by 20% to 40%.
- Tech Stack Alignment: Choosing the right databases, frameworks, and APIs to prevent costly re-platforming two years down the road.
Actionable 90-Day Technical Debt Remediation
- Prioritized Backlog: Turning vague technical issues into a clear, prioritized list of developer tasks linked to business ROI.
- Risk Matrix: Giving non-technical CEOs a transparent view of technical risks categorized by business impact and urgency.
Engineering Process & Team Optimization
- Agile/DevOps Practices: Implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and Lean/Agile delivery workflows.
- Hiring & Vetting: Designing technical interview frameworks, evaluating dev agency proposals, and vetting key developer candidates.
- Developer Mentorship: Coaching senior engineers and tech leads into proactive technical owners.
