How I can help

• Fractional CTO

  For companies that need senior technology leadership without hiring a full-time CTO.

  Architecture, engineering strategy, team structure, vendor decisions, roadmap, AI strategy, and executive guidance. Typically one to two days a week for three to six months.

• AI Readiness & Architecture

  For companies experimenting with AI but unsure whether their data, architecture, security, and controls are ready for production.

  An assessment of data lineage, validation, privacy and compliance, and model guardrails, with a prioritized plan to close the gaps. Fixed scope, typically 4 to 12 weeks.

• Platform & Data Modernization

  For organizations dealing with fragmented systems, technical debt, integration complexity, or unreliable data.

  A target architecture, a sequenced migration plan, and hands-on technical leadership through delivery.

• AI Product Review

  A focused review of an AI product or architecture before significant investment or launch.

  Architecture, data, safety controls, and production readiness, with a written recommendation. Measured in days, not months.

How I work

Principles behind every engagement

• A single source of truth. Every figure traceable to the transaction that produced it, and reconciled as a routine control.
• Validation at the door. Standardized formats and validation on arrival, so bad data never reaches your models.
• Privacy and compliance by design. Storage location, retention, the right to know, and the right to erasure built into the platform, as GDPR and CCPA require.
• AI inside defined bounds. Deterministic checks before every model call, validation of what comes back, and a rules-only fallback.
• Engineering strategy. Engineering investment balanced against business outcomes, with high-performing teams that deliver with quality at scale.
