Fractional CTO leadership
Software leadership for products that need to move forward.
I partner with founders and product owners to make clear technical decisions, build custom web applications, and keep the work moving from idea to dependable product.
A practical partner
Strategy and execution in the same conversation.
Direct communication, thoughtful tradeoffs, and hands-on delivery for web products that matter to the people using them.

Product planning and delivery for web applications that need a thoughtful path from idea to launch.
Ruby on Rails delivery
New features, maintenance, and focused improvements for existing Rails products.
Product and technical planning
A grounded plan for architecture, scope, sequencing, and the next meaningful release.
Who I work with
For people who need a durable way forward.
Building something new
You have a product idea and need a partner who can connect product direction, design, engineering, and infrastructure.
Improving something real
You have an existing product and need features, maintenance, or technical leadership without adding unnecessary complexity.

A deliberately focused stack.
The right technology is the one the team can understand, operate, and extend. My public focus stays close to the tools I use to deliver web products.
