How I help

Interim CTO / VP Engineering

I take over your tech org, fix what's broken, make hard calls, leave you with a lean, fast machine.

  • Full authority over engineering, product delivery, and tech strategy.
  • Ruthless simplification of process, architecture, and org structure.
  • Within 3-6 months we go from chaos to predictable, fast delivery.
  • I leave behind a lean, high-output team that doesn't need heroics or me.
  • Typical duration 3-12 months. My undivided attention until the job is done.

Focused Consulting Engagement

A short, surgical, fixed-scope engagement when you need mess fixed fast, but don't want a full-time interim.

  • 1-2 day on-site diagnosis (I look at everything).
  • Concrete 90-day plan with ruthless priorities and measurable targets.
  • I implement the changes together with your team.
  • Handover + lightweight operating model that sticks.
  • Typical duration 2-6 months. Fixed price, fixed scope, fixed timeline.

How it actually works

Four simple steps. No surprises.

  • 1

    30 minute discovery call

    We jump on a call. You tell me the symptoms (or the bodies in the closet). I tell you straight whether I can help and how. If it's not a fit, we both save time. No sales pitch, no "let me get back to you".

    1-2 day on-site (or remote) diagnosis

    I look at everything: code, pipelines, boards, org chart, meetings, hiring pipeline, the works.

    I talk to engineers, tech leads, product, the founders - everyone.

    At the end I hand you a one-page "here's the real problem and the leverage points".

    No 50-slide deck, no fluff.

    Fixed-price, fixed-scope proposal - within 48 hours

    You get a short document:

    • Exact outcomes promised.
    • What I will do, what you have to do.
    • How long it will take (usually 3-6 months).
    • Exact price (day rate or fixed - your choice).
    • Start date (usually the Monday after you sign).
  • 4

    We start. Immediately.

    First week I'm already in your Slack, in your standups, pairing with people or killing the first sacred cow. You see measurable movement in weeks, not quarters.

    When the job is done, I leave you with a lean org that runs without me.

If the thought "we just need to ship faster and stop messing around" has crossed your mind in the last 30 days, we should talk. If not, close the tab and good luck.

What you will NOT get from me

In short: I don't sell process theatre or slidedecks. I sell speed, simplicity, and results you can measure in weeks, not years.

If you want someone who shows up, makes the tough calls (including telling you where you're the bottleneck), and leaves you with a leaner, faster, happier engineering org - we should talk.
