services/fractional-cto

Senior technical leadership.
A fraction of the cost.

For agencies that need white-label senior firepower, and startups that need a CTO before they can afford one. Scoping, architecture, hiring, delivery — the playbook I’ve run at Karve Digital, alfii and House of Comms.

01 — what you get

A CTO’s output, on retainer.

/01

For agencies: win more work

Technical proposals, realistic estimates and architecture diagrams that close deals — written by someone who’s sat on the agency side and knows what wins pitches.

/02

White-label delivery

I build under your brand, in your repos, on your calls if needed. Your client sees your agency shipping senior work — full stop.

/03

For startups: technical direction

Stack decisions, architecture, build-vs-buy calls, technical due diligence for investors — the judgment calls that cost the most to get wrong.

/04

Team building & mentoring

Hiring loops, code review culture, standards and boilerplates — I’ve built dev teams from scratch and levelled up existing ones.

02 — why this works

Why this beats a full-time hire.

both sides of the table

Buyer and builder

I’ve been the agency CTO writing proposals and the engineer delivering them. I know where projects die — and how to keep yours alive.

no empire building

Self-eliminating by design

My goal is a team and codebase that don’t need me. Documentation, standards, mentoring — I make myself optional, not indispensable.

days, not quarters

Instant senior capacity

No six-month executive search, no equity negotiation. Senior leadership active in your projects within the first week.

03 — proof

Receipts, not promises.

04 — questions

Asked & answered.

How much of your time do we get?

Retainers are scoped by outcomes, not hours — typically a weekly cadence of proposals, reviews and delivery plus async availability. We agree the shape on the call; I never overbook.

Is the white-label arrangement confidential?

Completely. NDA as standard, your brand on everything, and I never list white-label clients publicly. Your clients see your agency, period.

Can you manage our existing developers?

Yes — mentoring, code review culture and standards are core to the role. Most teams level up fast once a senior bar is visible.

What if we need more hands than yours?

I’ve hired and led teams for years — I can run your hiring loop, bring in vetted contractors for surges, and own quality across all of it.

Rent the CTO.
Keep the margin.
