Fractional CTO and Technology Consultant

CTO On-demand

I am a seasoned Fractional CTO and Technology Consultant, providing both short and long-term services to clients. I specialise in areas such as technology roadmaps, technology processes and organisation, vendor selection and management, architecture and scalability, aligning technology with business objectives, and mergers and acquisitions.

As a Fractional CTO, I am responsible for executive decision-making and serve as a liaison between technical teams and upper management. My responsibilities include overseeing IT security, managing technology contracts, ensuring scalability, maintenance, and daily operations.

With over 15 years of experience in architecting, developing, and deploying technology solutions for companies ranging from start-ups to large corporations, I have a strong track record of success in providing strategic consulting on product development roadmaps, setting development workflows, full-stack development, establishing project infrastructures, integrating with third-party systems, and providing code reviews. My expertise in creating efficient, clean, and maintainable web applications that are ready to handle high traffic and scale as needed is unmatched.

Fractional CTO vs Full-Time CTO

Hiring a fractional CTO can be beneficial for a company because it allows for the acquisition of specialised technology leadership at a lower cost and time commitment. A fractional CTO can focus on specific aspects of the business and take on a portion of the responsibilities of a full-time CTO, rather than being responsible for all technology-related matters throughout the company.

Business Analysis

As a skilled analytical thinker and problem solver, I relish in the opportunity to translate business requirements into solutions that enhance the quality of software and optimise company processes. My experience includes evaluating processes and requirements by gathering information from both business and technical departments.

As a Web Development Business Analyst, I collaborate closely with clients and stakeholders to gain a thorough understanding of their business needs and objectives, utilising this information to craft detailed project plans. Furthermore, I act as a liaison between the development team and the client, overseeing the progress of the project to ensure it remains on track and fulfills the client's requirements.

Additionally, I am responsible for testing and quality assurance, ensuring that the final product is both functional and reliable, meeting the needs of end-users.

Product Development

As a product developer, my responsibilities include designing web-based and software products that meet the client's specifications and budget requirements. I collaborate closely with design teams to formulate and implement plans within the agreed timeframe. Additionally, I stay informed of current industry trends and use this knowledge to create designs that are competitive in the market and drive revenue growth. I possess a deep understanding of the technology industry.

Technical Leadership and Managing Teams

I have been fortunate enough to work with numerous software engineering teams, both on-site and remotely. My extensive experience encompasses managing teams of designers, developers, and other professionals.

My personal mission as a Tech Lead is not only to create exceptional products, but also to foster outstanding engineering teams. My focus is always on the end-user and their teams, with a strong motivation to pay attention to both the big-picture and the finer details. I prioritise the well-being and productivity of my teams by guiding them to deliver high-quality products within committed timeframes.
