Fractional CTOMichael Michalak
I serve as Fractional CTO for startups and growing companies that need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire. I've led engineering teams, architected scalable platforms, and guided technical strategy.
What I deliver:
Technical strategy & roadmap aligned with business goals
Architecture decisions (cloud, stack, data, integrations)
Engineering hiring, mentoring, and process design
Crisis intervention: technical debt, scaling incidents, vendor negotiations
Board/investor technical communication
AI strategy & agent pipeline integration: identifying high-ROI automation opportunities
Stack depth: AWS, Drupal/headless, Shopify, MySQL/PostgreSQL, CI/CD, observability, security compliance, Python/OpenAI/Vector DBs for AI agents.
Engagement: 10–20 hrs/week, month-to-month. First month includes a full technical audit.
