Fractional CTO & Enterprise Architect
Delivery has stalled. Technical debt is compounding. Your board wants answers you don't have yet. Or you're about to raise, acquire, or scale, and the technology needs to hold up under scrutiny. I work with CTOs, founders, and investors to reduce platform risk, unblock delivery, and make confident technical decisions.
The pressure to ship fast often prevents you from building anything that lasts. Quick fixes become permanent. Architectural compromises compound.
I've spent two decades in environments where this tension is highest: insurance claims platforms, emergency services, real-time event systems. Places where the software has to work when it matters, not just when conditions are ideal. That experience shapes every engagement.
Most engagements start with a conversation, not a service name. If you're facing a specific technical challenge, get in touch and we'll work out what makes sense.
2 weeks
Your platform is creaking but you're not sure where the real risks are. You get a risk-prioritised assessment your board can understand and your team can act on.
Typical triggers:
1 to 3 weeks
You're about to commit capital and need to know what's really under the bonnet. Clear, actionable intelligence on technical assets, team capability, and hidden risks.
Typical triggers:
3-month minimum
You need senior technical leadership but you're not ready for a full-time hire. Embedded leadership that takes accountability, not a consultant who writes a report and leaves.
Typical triggers:
2 to 3 sessions
You're facing a major platform decision and need an experienced second opinion. Structured evaluation of your current architecture with a clear path to target state.
Typical triggers:
Flexible
You're building or fixing P&C claims technology and need someone who's been through it. Digital FNOL, AI governance, and a cross-industry perspective the insurance world doesn't always get.
Typical triggers:
30 minutes to understand your situation. No pitch, no pressure. Book directly or email, whichever you prefer.
Clear scope, timeline, deliverables, and pricing. No ambiguity.
Focused execution. Regular check-ins. No surprises.
Documentation, knowledge transfer, defined support window.
I write about the challenges I see in practice: AI governance in insurance, platform architecture decisions, and the gap between demo and production.
30 minutes, no pitch, no obligation. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
