About this service
Summary
FAQs
How is a "Fractional CTO" different from a regular developer?
A developer builds what they are told; a Fractional CTO tells you what needs to be built to hit your business goals. I take ownership of the "Why" and "How," ensuring your stack is secure, cost-effective, and scalable.
Do you work with existing teams?
Absolutely. I can lead your current developers, implement better CI/CD workflows, and mentor them on architectural best practices to improve ship-speed and code quality.
What is your primary stack?
I primarily work with PHP and Python, and also have experience with Node.js. I specialize in building scalable SaaS platforms and integrating global payment systems like Stripe, PayPal, Paddle, and Verifone, ensuring high performance, reliability, and smooth user experiences.
What's included
Technical Health Audit & Modernization Roadmap
Before writing a single line of code, I conduct a deep-dive audit of your existing infrastructure. I identify technical bottlenecks, security risks, and scalability gaps. You will receive a comprehensive strategic roadmap detailing the exact steps needed to transform your legacy MVP into a high-performance, production-ready SaaS platform.
Scalable Core Architecture & Payment Integration
I rebuild or optimize your core engine using high-performance Python/Node logic. This includes implementing a "zero-friction" user experience (similar to the editor I built for Clever Certificate) and a robust payment orchestration layer (Stripe/PayPal) designed to handle global tax compliance and high-volume transactions seamlessly.
Product Growth & Deployment Strategy
I handle the end-to-end deployment pipeline, ensuring your platform is hosted on a secure, auto-scaling infrastructure (AWS/Heroku/DigitalOcean). I provide the technical stewardship needed to support your first 10,000 users, drawing from my direct experience scaling and acquiring a global SaaS product.
