Fractional CTO · For founders
I help non-technical founders turn ideas into technically sound, scalable software products — without the cost or commitment of hiring a full-time CTO.
The person you call to
Who it is for
You have the vision and the customers. You need someone who owns the technology side with you.
You need senior judgment now — before the first architecture decisions become expensive to undo.
You have budget to build, but nobody senior to decide how.
The team ships, but nobody owns architecture, standards or the roadmap.
You want independent technical oversight of what is being built and what it costs.
Engagements
Scope and pricing are agreed after a Technology Strategy Session, once we both understand the problem.
Fixed scope
A focused diagnosis of where your product and technology stand — and a clear plan for what to do next.
Best for · Founders about to build, rebuild or raise.
Monthly retainer
Ongoing technical leadership: decisions, roadmap, team and vendor oversight, and a delivery rhythm you can trust.
Best for · Startups with a team or agency, but no senior technical leader.
Monthly retainer
Technology leadership plus hands-on product and UX direction — one person connecting vision, design and engineering.
Best for · Founders shaping the product and the platform at the same time.
Custom
Fractional CTO leadership plus a delivery team through Doimpo, for founders who need the product built, not just planned.
Best for · Founders without an in-house team who need to ship.
How it starts
Why me
Healthcare, fintech and SaaS — from first commits to enterprise scale.
UI/UX and visual design alongside architecture, so product decisions and technical decisions stay connected.
I build and run my own products, so I think in users, outcomes and runway — not just tickets.
System design that fits your stage: simple enough to ship now, structured enough to scale later.
AI-assisted and agentic workflows used with guardrails — faster delivery without a messier codebase.
I lead technical decisions and teams, and stay hands-on enough to know when something is wrong.
Evidence
Founder products · Tend Church, TimeTalk, ExecuraSuite
Acting as CTO, product designer and architect for my own products — the same decisions a founder faces, made with a very small team and an AI-native workflow.
Franklin Templeton · via Innova Solutions
Leading frontend architecture across multiple product teams in a regulated financial-services environment — modernizing without stopping delivery.
Medblaze · Verventus HealthTech
Owning platform architecture for a healthcare product I originally helped build as Senior UI Lead — now evolving it for its next stage of scale.
Questions founders ask
Often not. Before product-market fit, most startups need senior technical judgment a few days a month — not a full-time executive salary. A fractional CTO covers decisions, roadmap and oversight until the role genuinely needs to be full time, and can help you hire that person when it does.
I lead the technical decisions, architecture and standards, and I stay hands-on enough to review work and prototype where it helps. Delivery is done by your developers, your agency, or a Doimpo execution pod.
Yes. Independent technical oversight is one of the most common reasons founders bring me in — reviewing architecture, estimates, code quality and delivery, so you know what you are paying for.
Engagements are remote. We agree on overlap hours with your team at the start, and decisions are written down so nothing depends on being in the same meeting.
We go through your product, current technology, team and the decisions in front of you. You leave with a clear view of the risks and what to do next — whether or not we work together after.
Start with a Technology Strategy Session. We will look at your product, your technology and your risks — and decide together what a useful next step is.
