Can you help us vet and interview developer candidates or agencies?

Yes. We frequently conduct technical interviews, evaluate test assignments, and review agency proposals on behalf of non-technical founders.

What if we decide we want you to build the software as well?

We seamlessly transition from architecture consulting to full implementation through our Custom Web Development practice.

FRACTIONAL CTO & ARCHITECTURAL GUIDANCESenior Lead Active

Pragmatic technical leadership for ambitious founders and product teams.

Making the wrong architectural choice early can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in rewrites. We provide clear, vendor-neutral engineering guidance that saves time and capital.
