I've spent more than ten years building software and leading engineering teams. I help founders who aren't engineers understand what their developers are building, and whether it will hold up.

What I've done

I started as a developer and still read and write code. Over the years I've designed systems, hired and led engineering teams, and made the kind of decisions founders now ask me about: what to build, what to buy, who to hire, and when a rewrite is a mistake.

I've seen projects from both sides: as the engineer asked to explain a delay, and as the lead who has to decide whether the explanation holds up.

Why non-technical founders

Founders who can't read code are asked to make expensive technical decisions anyway. Which agency to trust. Whether an estimate is honest. Whether the product can survive its first big customer. Most of the help on offer comes from people who want to sell them development. I don't, which means I can tell you when the answer is "your team is fine, leave them alone".

How I work

• Plain English. If I can't explain it without jargon, I don't understand it well enough.
• Opinions, not options. You get a recommendation and the reasoning, not a list of trade-offs to sort out yourself.
• In writing. Decisions and findings are written down so they outlast the call.
• Fixed scope. You know what you get and what it costs before I start.

A new practice, honestly

I started offering this as an independent service in 2026, so you won't find a wall of client logos here. What you will find is how I think: in the guides, and in the free Dev Maturity Test. If that thinking makes sense to you, we'll probably work well together.

The services: a code audit of your product, and ongoing help as your fractional CTO.
