Experience summary
I'm the fractional CTO for founders who can't afford a full-time one and can't afford to get the technology wrong. Seventeen years as an engineer and engineering leader — four years in Big Tech, then a decade in Australian startups, including three years as a full-time CTO at a Series B company that exited in 2023. My work with founders is 70% about people (hiring, coaching, structure) and 30% about technology. I don't pretend to love every stack equally — I'll tell you what I think and back it up.
