Helping Companies Become AI-Native.

I'm Alex. Over 20 years building technology and leading engineering and product orgs. I work with founders and executive teams as their fractional CTO, aligning engineering and product with how the company executes. I've spent the last 18 months immersed in the shift to AI-native operations, helping teams change how they build and ship.

1 dedicated day a week.

1 spot available from March 2026.

Services & Impact

As your Fractional CTO, I deliver experienced technical leadership at a fraction of a full-time hire. I build frameworks to fit the needs, size and stage of a business focusing on engineering velocity, developer happiness and business outcomes. Whether you're scaling teams, launching products, seeking investment, or transforming how your eng & product org works, I bring practical, hands-on CTO and VP experience. I thrive on solving technical and organisational problems whilst building long-term partnerships.

Getting teams AI-native

  • Agentic coding rollout

    Set up Claude Code, Codex or similar for your engineering team. Integration, configuration, workflows.

  • AI strategy

    Work with your executive and leadership teams to figure out where AI tools fit and where they don't. Build a plan, then ship it together.

  • Workflow and process change

    Teams I've worked with have gone from shipping features per sprint to per day. The tools matter, but the bigger shift is how the team works around them.

  • Internal tooling and automation

    Find the manual, repetitive work across your team and figure out what's worth automating with AI.

  • Team training

    Workshops and training for engineering teams of 5 to 50. Tailored to where your team is and what tools you're adopting.

Technical founder support

  • MVP and funding

    Shape your MVP's technical direction for beta launch and funding.

  • Technical feasibility

    Work with your design team to guide the technical feasibility of your product vision.

  • Investment

    I can be named on your pitch deck and in the room for investor meetings. I'll handle the technical side of the deck.

Strategy

  • Business outcomes

    Wire up the systems and processes that tie engineering effort to business results.

  • Executive partnership

    I've partnered with exec teams to drive org-wide change.

  • Founder partnership

    Your technical sounding board. I translate between business vision and engineering reality for non-technical founders.

  • Roadmap development

    Lay out engineering, AI, data, and product roadmaps. Then build the systems to get there.

Engineering efficiency

  • Engineering output

    Set up the systems and agentic workflows that make engineering teams faster and more cohesive. Break down the silos between eng and product, real or perceived.

  • Risk and cost management

    Spot risks in your development process and deal with them before they compound. Find cost savings in your stack, including AWS and infra spend.

  • Developer experience

    AI tooling only works if the developer experience underneath it is solid. I'll review and tighten the DX across your engineering org. Happier engineers (retention) and faster delivery (business outcomes).

Mentorship and coaching

  • Leadership development

    Grow your engineering leaders through hands-on mentorship. Bespoke development plans tailored to each person, not generic leadership training.

  • Strategic hiring guidance

    I've hired hundreds of engineers, including from 0-1 and beyond. I'll work with your people team (if you have one) to build a hiring process that works.

  • Training

    Build and run training programs for your engineering teams, tailored to their stack and stage.

Engineering management

  • Revamp and AI-optimise your engineering function

    In-house, offshore, or blended team: I'll help restructure how they work, introduce AI tooling where it fits, and tie output back to business goals.
