I specialize in three types of companies at critical technology crossroads
Book a 30-minute strategy call to identify what stage your technology challenges are at and whether we're a good fit.
$2M-$20M revenue, Series A-B funding, scaling fast but hitting technical bottlenecks
Your Challenge: Your MVP got you to market, but now you're hiring developers, and velocity is slowing down. Investors are asking tough questions about your technical roadmap, and every new feature takes twice as long as it should.
How I Help: Architecture review, technical debt assessment, and scalable system design that supports your growth without breaking your budget.
Real Result: Cut operational costs by 70% for a Series A company while improving performance. Six months later, they're handling 10x users on the same budget.
$10M-$100M revenue, established business, but technology is now competitive necessity
Your Challenge: Your industry is being disrupted by tech-first competitors. You have legacy systems that work but don't integrate, and you need digital transformation but don't know where to start.
How I Help: Technology audit, modern system integration, and complete digital transformation roadmap with measurable ROI.
Real Result: Implemented customer portal for 50-year-old manufacturer. Result: 40% increase in customer retention and 25% reduction in operational costs.
Recently acquired or preparing for sale, need interim technology leadership during transitions
Your Challenge: The previous CTO left during acquisition. You need to integrate systems across companies, address technical debt revealed in due diligence, and maximize technology value for exit.
How I Help: Technology due diligence, system consolidation, and value creation through technology optimization.
Real Result: Consolidated systems for three acquired companies. Result: 30% reduction in technology costs and 50% increase in feature delivery.

Real clients, real problems, real results - with numbers to prove it
It's not every day you get to transform a technology organization that powers the growth of a "Unicorn Company"
Before: A company gets some funding and starts acquiring some major players in their industry to build its portfolio. What happens next? Log jam. Culture, product, and operations are all trying to work together with no strategy.
After: Synergy. Between all of the key components needed for a $2B company, even faster than you expected.
Increase team size from 1 to 30 engineers. Ship 5 new products. All done within 12 months.
Growing a team from 1 engineer to 30 in one year? Challenging.
Shipping 5 new products at the same time? Tough.
It's what I do.
Through a lean implementation of multiple agile frameworks (dubbed The Agile Donut), this team grew to over 100 engineers, spread across the globe, continuing to ship amazing products. Companies from all over the world came to visit, learn, watch, and study the Agile Donut.
Deploying agile in a global organization when everyone said it couldn't be done
Imagine a multi-billion-dollar company with decades of success in the hardware business. Let's pretend that the same company decides to go all-in on software, and they want to try this agile thing out. Unfortunately, the world of waterfall permeates everything they do (including growing into a multi-billion-dollar company).
We implemented agile with so much success that it turned into an "agile roadshow" as we travelled across the globe, educating the rest of the organization on how they too could thrive with agile.
Reviving a product and company that deteriorated to the point of freezing sales.
It's bad news when a company decides to stop selling its product for a full year. Onboarding new customers became so cumbersome and buggy that the company couldn't bear to add even one more.
Then I arrived.
Establishing proper engineering processes, architectural approaches/guidelines, and hiring amazing engineers reduced the onboarding process from 8 months to 1 week.
Oh, and we saved the company hundreds of thousands in operating costs while we were at it.
Simple 4-step process
We discuss your challenges, goals, and determine if we're a good fit.
I analyze your current technology, team, and processes.
You get a detailed plan with priorities, timelines, and recommendations.
We implement the plan together, with regular check-ins and adjustments.
