consultingStrategic Technology Leadership for Organizations That Need to Move Faster
Fractional CTO · Field CTO · Technical Business Advisor
I help organizations make thoughtful technology decisions and build resilient, observable platforms. And I help technical companies earn the trust of the engineers they sell to. No full-time executive hire required.
Fractional CTO & Engineering Leadership
Strategic guidance for organizations that need executive-level technology leadership without a full-time hire. Architecture decisions, build vs. buy, technical risk assessment, and roadmap alignment.
Learn more →Platform Engineering & Observability
Design and implementation of modern cloud platforms built on Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and GitOps. From resilience assessments to observability rationalization.
Learn more →AI Strategy & Enablement
Practical AI integration for both technical teams and non-technical organizations. MIT-certified in Applied GenAI. Bridging the gap between hype and practical application.
Learn more →Technical Evangelism & GTM
For dev-tools, infrastructure, and AI startups selling to technical buyers. I build the credibility that drives adoption: sales engineering enablement, developer relations, technical content, and partner GTM. The engineer who learned to sell, not a marketer who learned to talk to developers.
How I help vendors →Why Organizations Hire Me
I go deeper technically than anyone expects from someone in a strategic role, and that depth is what earns trust. The commercial outcomes follow from it, never the other way around.
Field CTO Experience
Led technology strategy at Groundcover and Trace3, working directly with Fortune 10 tech, Fortune 50 pharma, global SaaS platforms, and enterprise telcos
Builder & Architect
Employee #6 at Morpheus Data through HPE acquisition. Built Trace3's observability practice from zero into a multimillion-dollar practice in its first year
Hands-On Technical
CKA-certified, MIT-certified in Applied GenAI, fluent in OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes, eBPF, and modern platform tooling
Trusted at Scale
The technical credibility behind $30M+ in enterprise technology decisions, earned at the architecture level rather than the sales pitch
I win trust by demonstrating I understand the problem at the architecture and code level. Then I help you make the right strategic calls, not just the expedient ones.
