Early-Stage companies often think they need a full-time CTO, this is often not the case. Instead what they need is a part-time senior technical leader to help them get start by building a small team of developers.
I help companies at the earliest of stages achieve the following.
Delivery: Ensuring their current team is regular shipping code on some weekly or bi-weekly cadence.
Code Reviews: Establishing a process of reviewing code early is critical as it lays the foundation for accountability and ownership.
Hiring: Implementing strategies and creating assessment solutions to ensure the developers you hire can do the technical work that's required
Product Management: Enabling your engineers to write better stories and take ownership of their work.
