Helping Companies Become AI-First.

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-First operations, helping teams change how they build, ship and operate.

Services & Impact

AI-First Transformation

  • Humans on the loop

    AI-First isn't just at the coding layer. We have to rip up the whole process with humans on the loop alongside agents. Also recognising that the cognitive load of working with AI is high, so we need to design around that.

  • AI strategy

    Work with executive and leadership teams to figure out where AI fits. Build a plan, then ship it together. It needs to be top-down with the exec team all in to be credible.

  • Agentic workflow and habit change

    Teams I've worked with have gone from shipping features per sprint to per day. I'm fascinated at how AI and agents can transform how teams work, not just individuals.

  • Internal tooling and automation

    Find the manual, repetitive work across workflows that can be automated with single task agents.

  • Team training

    Workshops, paired sessions and live code review for Product and Engineering teams. Built around your actual codebase and the tools you're rolling out.

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.
