Services
Fractional CTO Services
I help startups and growing companies architect, ship, and scale software. No full-time executive overhead. Just focused, senior technical leadership.
Through Archatech Labs, I partner directly with founders as their fractional CTO.
What I Do
Product & Platform Architecture
Design scalable systems from the ground up—choosing the right tech stack, data models, and infrastructure patterns.
Technical Strategy & Roadmap
Align technology decisions with business goals. Prioritize what to build, when, and why.
Hiring & Team Building
Source, interview, and evaluate engineering talent. Build teams that ship.
MVP to Scale
Move fast without breaking things. Ship MVPs, then systematically scale infrastructure and processes.
Security & Reliability
Implement foundational security practices, monitoring, and incident response before they become emergencies.
Who It's For
Founders building their first technical product
Pre-seed to Series A startups needing senior technical leadership
Small teams without a full-time CTO
Organizations scaling beyond their current technical capabilities
Non-technical founders who need a trusted technical partner
