## Who is David Enoch?
David Enoch (David Enoch Raj Kummari) is a Fractional CTO & Product Technology Consultant based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. I've spent more than 15 years building software — as a UI lead, an engineering director, a principal architect for enterprise and healthcare platforms, and as a founder shipping my own products. Today I work as a fractional CTO for founders who need senior technical leadership before they need a full-time CTO: diagnosing technology, making architecture decisions, building the roadmap, managing technical risk and leading execution.

He has 15+ years building software across healthcare, fintech, and SaaS, including UI leadership, engineering direction, and principal architecture. He also designs product and interface work, and he ships his own products.

## What does he help founders with?
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 a founder can call to diagnose technology, make architecture decisions, build a roadmap, manage technical risk and lead execution.

- Non-technical founders: You have the vision and the customers. You need someone who owns the technology side with you.
- Pre-seed and seed startups: You need senior judgment now — before the first architecture decisions become expensive to undo.
- Funded, without a technical co-founder: You have budget to build, but nobody senior to decide how.
- Developers, but no technical leadership: The team ships, but nobody owns architecture, standards or the roadmap.
- Working with an external agency: You want independent technical oversight of what is being built and what it costs.

## How do you hire him?
Engagements are remote. Start with a Technology Strategy Session from the contact section on the homepage.
- Technology Strategy Sprint (Fixed scope): A focused diagnosis of where your product and technology stand — and a clear plan for what to do next. Includes Startup technology assessment; Architecture direction with written decision records; Security baseline and production-readiness check; 90-day technology roadmap. Best for Founders about to build, rebuild or raise.
- Fractional CTO (Monthly retainer): Ongoing technical leadership: decisions, roadmap, team and vendor oversight, and a delivery rhythm you can trust. Includes Architecture and technical decision-making; Roadmap and delivery planning; Developer, hiring and agency oversight; Technical answers for investors and partners. Best for Startups with a team or agency, but no senior technical leader.
- Fractional CTO + Product (Monthly retainer): Technology leadership plus hands-on product and UX direction — one person connecting vision, design and engineering. Includes Everything in Fractional CTO; Product discovery and scoping; UX flows and visual design direction; MVP definition and prioritization. Best for Founders shaping the product and the platform at the same time.
- CTO + Doimpo Execution Pod (Custom): Fractional CTO leadership plus a delivery team through Doimpo, for founders who need the product built, not just planned. Includes Fractional CTO leadership; Design and engineering delivery team; AI-native delivery workflow; One accountable point of contact. Best for Founders without an in-house team who need to ship.

## Answers
### Do I need a full-time CTO yet?
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.
### Will you write the code?
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.
### We already work with an agency. Can you help?
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.
### How does working across time zones work?
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.
### What happens in a Technology Strategy Session?
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.
