Senior technical leadership, without the full-time hire.
FRACTIONAL CTO · LIMA, PERU
For companies whose product has outgrown the engineer who built it. Fixed monthly scope, board-ready reporting, and an exit plan from day one.
Two weeks across code, team, and roadmap. You get a written verdict, ranked risks, and a sequenced plan.
Technical assessment
Two to four days a month of standing technical leadership — planning, hiring, architecture, and the board deck.
Fractional CTO
Where the system breaks at 10x, what it will cost, and which parts to fix before they become the bottleneck.
Architecture review
Scorecards, interview loops, and onboarding, so you stop hiring on gut feel and start hiring on evidence.
Engineering hiring
Where the money goes, what actually needs that instance size, and what happens the next time it goes down.
Cloud cost and reliability
For investors and acquirers: what you are really buying, what it will cost to keep, and what breaks first.
Technical due diligence
WHAT I DO
Six ways companies bring me in
Most start with the assessment. You keep the findings whether or not we work together after it.
HOW I WORK
A CTO who leaves you able to run it
Nobody signs a retainer before seeing a written diagnosis. You keep it either way.
Assessment first
Flat invoice, agreed days. No hourly clock and no surprise line items.
Fixed monthly scope
Your engineers stay the owners. I raise the ceiling, not the headcount.
With your team, not over it
Reporting a non-technical CEO can take into a board meeting and defend.
Board-ready language
Documented decisions and a named successor, so leaving is a handover, not a cliff.
An exit plan from day one
The point is not to be needed forever. Every engagement is built so your team can carry it when I step back.
Your roadmap is a wish list until it has sequencing
Stop interviewing for the engineer you were
The cheapest infrastructure win is usually turning something off
NOTES
What I keep telling founders
A written verdict on code, team, and roadmap, with ranked risks and a sequenced plan.
Standing technical leadership, two to four days a month, with board-ready reporting.
For investors and acquirers who need to know what they are actually buying.
ENGAGEMENTS
Priced before you ask
Fixed fees, stated up front. Most companies start at the top and decide from there.
No. Your team stays the owner of the system. I raise the ceiling on what they can take on and give them someone senior to argue with.
Do you replace my existing engineers?
The assessment usually starts within a week of the first call and takes two weeks. A retainer starts the month after, once we both know what the work is.
How fast can you start?
That happens often — a build-versus-buy call, a platform migration, a hire. Take the assessment, use the answer, and stop there.
What if we only need you for one decision?
Sometimes, when a spike or a proof of concept settles an argument faster than a meeting. But you are not paying senior rates for delivery work.
Do you write code?
You keep the documentation, the decisions, and a named successor inside your team. That handover is planned from the first month, not the last.
What happens when the engagement ends?
