Your Personal Technical Partner

I do not just deliver tickets. I align product decisions to business outcomes and own execution from MVP to scale.

End-to-End Product Delivery

From architecture and roadmap to release and iteration, I run the full product lifecycle so founders can stay focused on market growth.

AI Features That Create Value

I ship practical AI workflows with measurable impact, not demos. LLM orchestration, automation, retrieval, and data pipelines included.

Scale-Ready Custom Code

No no-code dead ends. I build maintainable systems designed to handle traction, team handoffs, and future product complexity.

Clear Delivery Process

Every engagement follows a transparent path with clear milestones and owner visibility.

1) Discovery & Scope

I align on goals, user flows, delivery risks, and define what ships in the first release.

2) Build & Weekly Demos

I ship in weekly sprints with demos, progress updates, and shared backlog priorities.

3) Launch & Handover

I harden quality, deploy to production, and transfer documentation and source ownership.

4) Support & Scale

After launch, I optimize reliability, performance, and infrastructure spend as you grow.

Featured Case Study

A real engagement from idea to measurable business outcome.

From No-Code to Scalable Application

A client had hit the technical ceiling with their no-code tools. It became slow, difficult to maintain, and frustrated users. They needed a custom, scalable solution fast.

0$Platform Lock-in
6Weeks to launch
-40%Operational costs

The Problem: Their no-code setup was crashing under user load, blocking feature updates, pushing bugs to production, and making onboarding impossible.

What I Built: A custom Laravel application with a vue.js frontend, an automated CI/CD pipeline, and zero-downtime deployments. Built with clean code and a scalable architecture.

Outcome: Migrated 100% of their data seamlessly. The custom app drastically lowered their monthly operational costs and allowed them to add new revenue-generating features previously impossible.

  1. Weeks 1-2: Architecture design, data migration planning, and core API development.
  2. Weeks 3-4: Frontend SPA build out, payment gateway integration, and testing.
  3. Weeks 5-6: User acceptance testing, final data sync, and production deployment.

Fractional CTO for a Fast-Growing Startup

A non-technical startup needed an experienced technical leader to take ownership of their product build, ensure quality, and manage their growing development needs.

4Engineers hired
-50%Time to market
100%Code ownership

The Problem: Founders were spending too much time managing freelancers, features were constantly delayed, and code quality was causing regular system failures.

What I Built: I assumed full ownership of their technical stack, architecting scalable cloud infrastructure, building the core web application from scratch, and establishing automated CI/CD for continuous delivery.

Outcome: The startup smoothly launched on schedule and onboarded their first paying users with zero downtime, all without bearing the overhead of hiring and managing a full-time executive CTO.

Trusted by Founders

“He transformed our initial idea into a fully functional MVP in just 6 weeks. His clean code foundation and scalable architecture allowed us to go to market quickly without compromising performance.”

Result: Robust MVP launched in 6 weeks.

Ali Salmen
CEO, Swedish Academy

“He stepped in as our acting CTO to architect and build our MVP from scratch. He delivered the app and successfully guided our technical scaling, growing the team to 4 developers.”

Result: Launched MVP and scaled technical team to 4 developers.

Rislain
CEO, L2R Partner

“In just 3 months, he completely rewrote our call center application. He introduced essential DevOps practices and integrated highly effectively with our existing team.”

Result: Rewrote call center app & established DevOps in 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we own the code and infrastructure?

Yes. Your team owns the codebase, repositories, and deployment environments from day one.

How long does an MVP usually take?

Most MVPs ship in 4–6 weeks depending on integrations, compliance requirements, and scope quality.

Do you build with no-code tools?

No. I build with maintainable custom code so your product can scale without platform lock-in.

What is a Fractional CTO?

A fractional CTO acts as your technical lead on a part-time basis. You get senior architectural decisions and product guidance without the cost or equity dilution of a full-time hire.

Do you provide maintenance after launch?

Yes. Launching is just the start. I offer long-term partnerships to iterate features, ensure maximum uptime, and scale your cloud infrastructure as your users grow.

How much does it cost to build an MVP?

Pricing depends entirely on scope, technical complexity, and timeline. Request a discovery call to receive a transparent roadmap and tailored quote for your budget.

What if my project scales and I need a larger team?

If your project grows rapidly, I can help you recruit, interview, and onboard your own internal engineering team, ensuring a smooth technical transition as you scale.

Ready to build without technical bottlenecks?

Share your stage and goals. I'll send a practical roadmap with timeline, architecture approach, and budget options.

Response expectation: I reply within 24 hours on business days.
