I help technology-driven organizations build better software, lead more effectively, and grow their teams – with fewer bottlenecks and more clarity.
What sets me apart is that I’ve done the work myself: code, architecture, team leadership, and delivery. I bring 30 years of real-world experience across industries, company sizes, and dev cultures – and I adapt to your context instead of pushing one-size-fits-all solutions.
Let’s see how I can help you.
Fractional CTO
As a Fractional CTO – sometimes called “CTO as a Service” – I provide executive-level technical leadership without the need for a full-time hire. I work closely with founders and business leaders to align technology with product, growth, and team goals.

CTO Consulting (“CTO Whisperer”)
Even experienced CTOs need a sounding board. I work with technical leaders to think through architecture, strategy, team structure, and scale – especially when the stakes are high and the answers aren’t obvious. I bring outside perspective, hard-won lessons, and honest feedback from decades of hands-on experience across tech stacks, company sizes, and business domains.

Development Process Improvement
When software teams move slowly, ship bugs, or spend more time fighting fires than adding value, it's rarely just a tooling issue. I help organizations identify the real causes – in process, communication, expectations, and culture – and work with them to rebuild how they design, code, review, and deliver software. Whether you're struggling with velocity, growing technical debt, or unclear ownership, I help teams reduce friction, build clarity, and regain momentum.

Courses, Workshops, and Lectures
I design and deliver training that’s custom-built for your team – not off-the-shelf content. Topics range from advanced C++, or Java, or C#, or Python – or any of the other languages I’ve worked with over the years – to architecture, communication, and beyond. Whether it’s a one-time lecture, a hands-on workshop, or a full multi-day course, the format adapts to your team’s needs. Everything is grounded in real-world experience and tailored to your context and learning objectives. Sessions are interactive and collaborative – not one-sided lectures – and emphasize practical knowledge, internal discussion, and ideas your devs can use the next day.

Mentoring
Whether you're a developer looking to grow or a team lead trying to support your people, sometimes what’s needed isn’t a course – it’s a guide. I offer personalized mentoring for individuals and teams: technical coaching, code reviews, architectural guidance, soft-skill development, and help navigating career decisions or new roles. From junior devs building confidence to experienced engineers stepping into leadership, I help people move forward with clarity and momentum.

Not Sure Where to Start?
Every organization has its own mix of challenges – tech debt, team dynamics, unclear ownership, delivery pressure – and they rarely come labeled. Sometimes what looks like a people problem is rooted in structure. Sometimes it’s process. Often, it’s both.
If things feel messy, that’s normal. One of the ways I can help is by listening, asking the right questions, and helping you clarify what’s really going on – so we can build the right solution together.
