Fractional CTO (AI-first)

I lead technology at quarter-time or half-time. Alongside the CTO decisions, I spend the first 30 days installing an agentic development workflow with your team and measuring whether delivery actually gets faster.

Who it’s for: For product companies with a technical team that need senior ownership of technology, but not a full-time CTO.

Not for companies shopping for the cheapest CTO-by-the-hour, a title for the investor deck, or advice with no decision authority.

( 01 )

You have AI tools. Technology still has no owner.

The founder approves architecture between sales calls and hiring. The team uses several coding assistants, each in a different way and with no measurement of the result. The roadmap grows, decisions keep coming back, and velocity stays flat. You need one person to own technology and change how the team ships.

What you get

Technology strategy and roadmap tied to company goals
Architecture, stack and vendor decisions with the reasoning recorded
A steady delivery cadence, risk review and team unblockers
Hiring profiles, technical interviews and hiring calls — when another hire is actually needed
An agentic workflow: issue → code → AI review → human approval
Repository instructions, issue templates and clear boundaries for agent autonomy
Before-and-after measurement: lead time, cycle time, throughput and delivery cost

( 03 )

How it runs

01Days 1–10We set CTO decision rights, baseline metrics, the state of the architecture and the places where the team loses the most time.

02Days 11–30I install the agentic workflow on real team tasks: repository instructions, work templates, AI review and approval rules.

03Months 2–3I lead the roadmap, architecture and delivery. We compare results with the baseline and fix what is not working.

When this role works

A fractional CTO needs:

a real mandate to make technology decisions

access to repositories, tools, costs and delivery data

a technical team willing to work from one shared workflow

an executive counterpart who can settle business priorities

( 05 )

What exists after the first 90 days

After one quarter, the company keeps concrete operating assets and numbers:

a technology roadmap and a record of the most important architecture decisions

a working AI-agent development workflow with explicit autonomy boundaries

a delivery dashboard comparing the baseline with the current result

a team and hiring plan based on actual bottlenecks

What’s next

After 90 days we make a simple call: continue month-to-month, reduce the scope to advisory, or hand the working system over to the team.
