Work with me
Need a CTO before you can hire one?
I take on a small number of fractional engagements with early-stage teams. Usually the job is turning an MVP into something that scales, setting up the engineering practice, and hiring the first people who will own it after me.
If that sounds like where you are, book a call and tell me what you are building.
