Fractional CTO
I have more than a decade of product engineering experience under my belt, working with teams from 1 to 100+ people.During these years, I went from a regular engineer, to technical lead, to engineering manager, and eventually, CTO.I've had the privilege to join:
- Bootstrapped startups (Feedefy, CountdownTimer.ai, GloriaFood)
- VC-funded startups (Rio Stream, Flashpage, FurryFriendWorld)
- Fortune 500 (Oracle)
- Personal ventures (WorkSwift, landingleap.ai, Collabos, Starlab Zone, ToneCreek)I am intimately familiar with the challenges that early-stage startups have: moving fast without breaking things.For pre-revenue teams, you need to get to Product/Market Fit as soon as possible since you have a limited runway.For post-revenue teams, you have to reach scale while also paying off incurred technical debt unless you want new features to take exponentially more time to build and introduce security issues, leading to more churned customers and ruined reputation.No matter if you're bootstrapped or VC-funded, the challenges are the same while the solutions have different implementations.I bring that experience and understanding to a small number of early-stage SaaS startups both pre- and post-revenue.Here are some responsibilities I can help with:
- Technical audits and reviews
- High-level feature architecture
- Interviewing and testing candidates
- Finding specialists for specific assignments
- Figure out product bottlenecks
- Assigning tasks to developers
- Evaluating and establishing the roadmap
- Validated learningIf you are a non-technical SaaS founder of a pre- or post-revenue startup and you're looking for a technical partner to help you navigate your journey, would love to hear from you.I provide the most value when the monthly budget for the product team is at least $15,000 and at most $125,000. If you have less than that, then maybe you need an all-in-one product team instead.So if you're interested in working together, click below to apply and I'll get back to you within 48 hours.Important: minimum length of collaboration is 6 months and prices start at $4,000 per month for packages or $250/h for one-off engagements.
