Discovery
We align quickly on your context, constraints, and the decisions that matter most.
Open to selected collaborations.
I occasionally work with founders, startups, and product teams where I can add outsized value across product, architecture, and technical direction.
Fit
I work best with
Pre-Seed & Early-Stage Founders
You have the idea and maybe a small team, but no CTO. I help you define the architecture, pick the right stack, build the MVP, and avoid the expensive mistakes that kill startups before they launch.
Funded Startups Needing Technical Direction
You've raised capital and need to move fast. I support technical direction, architecture, and execution oversight to help your team build the right thing.
Businesses Building AI Systems
You want to integrate AI agents, automation, or intelligent workflows into your product or operations. I design the system, oversee implementation, and make sure it actually works, not just demos well.
Where I tend to add the most value
Early-stage product direction
Helping founders make strong technical decisions early, from architecture and MVP shape to product trade-offs.
Technical leadership
Supporting teams with architecture review, execution oversight, and technical clarity during high-leverage periods.
Venture collaboration
Joining selective opportunities where the team is strong, the problem is interesting, and the upside is meaningful.
