I've been the technical co-founder, first engineer, and fractional CTO at multiple startups. I know what it looks like when the tech is holding the business back, because I've been the person who fixes it.

At Chatterbox, I took over a stalled prototype and turned it into a platform that raised a seed round and landed VISA, Microsoft, and PwC as clients. At LaunchPharm, I migrated an entire pharma platform off vendor lock-in to self-hosted Kubernetes while 2,000+ users kept using it without a single account lost. I've managed dev teams, made hard calls on hiring and firing, prepped tech for investor conversations, and handled security compliance documentation.

This is not advisory. I write code, review PRs, set architecture, run standups, interview candidates, and talk to your investors about why the tech is solid. 10-20 hours a week, fully remote.
