Fractional CTO & Technical Advisor

All technical problems have a solution, you just need the right one.

I work with companies that need senior technical leadership, clearer delivery, and practical AI adoption.

  • Cut through technical noise and make better decisions
  • Turn chaotic delivery into something predictable
  • Use AI to improve outcomes, not just output

Useful help for messy technical moments.

Most businesses do not need more generic advice. They need someone who can diagnose the problem, simplify the decisions, and get the team moving again.

Fractional CTO

Senior technology leadership for companies that need direction, structure, and confidence before committing to a full-time executive hire.

Delivery Rescue

For teams stuck in missed deadlines, unclear priorities, fragile quality, or stakeholder chaos. I help turn delivery back into something boring and reliable.

AI Workflow Adoption

Practical guidance for using AI-assisted and agentic development safely: better briefs, better review loops, stronger quality gates, less demo-driven nonsense.

The hardest part isn’t the technology, it’s everything around it..

I am a hands-on technology leader with around two decades of experience building products, leading engineering teams, and helping businesses transition the middle ground between start up to scale up to enterprise and everything in between.

I have worked across product delivery, data, AI, integrations, enterprise clients, outsourced teams, and the full circus of stakeholder expectations. My style is direct, practical, and grounded in what actually survives production.

If your team is moving fast but confidence is low, shipping slowly despite everyone being busy, or trying to work out how AI changes your delivery model, then its time we had a chat.

Got a technical knot that needs unpicking?

Send me a note. Bring the messy reality. The messy reality is usually where the useful work starts.
