What I Do

CTO-as-a-Service

Strategic technology leadership for organizations that need senior technical guidance without the full-time overhead. Architecture decisions, team building, and engineering culture.

Software Architecture

System design, technology stack decisions, and scalability planning for platforms that need to grow. From microservices to event-driven architectures.

AI & Automation

LLM integration, AI agent orchestration, workflow automation (n8n), and RAG architectures. Turning AI from a buzzword into measurable business impact.

Full-Stack Development

Hands-on implementation in Node.js, TypeScript, Python, Go, Vue, React. Cloud-native on AWS, GCP, and Azure with CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code.

Technical Due Diligence

Independent technical assessments for investors, acquirers, and boards. Code quality, architecture reviews, and scalability analysis.

Team Building & Mentoring

Engineering hiring strategy, team structure, mentoring (9 mentees at dev to management level), and establishing development best practices.
