What I can help with
If you are struggling to understand your market, choose the right technology, build an MVP, or manage all of these challenges at once, this is where I can step in and make a difference. My work focuses on turning the concept into an actionable plan and then into working solutions. I will help to validate assumptions with real users and shape technology that aligns with business goals. Below are the areas where I can add the most value.
CTO Partner for
Non-Technical Founders
Act as the technical partner for non-technical founders. Translate business goals into technical decisions, take ownership of trade-offs, and make sure technology supports growth instead of slowing it down.
Outcome:
The founder can move fast without being blind.
-
Convert business goals into an execution plan the team can deliver
-
Own technical decisions end-to-end (architecture, trade-offs, risk)
-
Create the “tech narrative” for investors and stakeholders
-
Build confidence: what matters now, what can wait, what is risky
Build an MVP That Validates the Business
Help founders build an MVP that answers the right questions early (about users, value, and feasibility) without overbuilding or locking the company into bad decisions.
Outcome:
The founder gets the MVP that teaches them what matters.
-
MVP scope focused on learning, not just features
-
Smart build vs buy vs borrow decisions
-
A product that can change easily as you learn
Build the Team
That Can Win
Help founders design a lean engineering team that fits their stage, runway, and goals.
Outcome:
Founding the team structure that scales with the business.
-
Clarity on first hires and role timing
-
Help avoid premature or expensive hires
-
A team structure that supports progress, not overhead
