Fractional CTO Services
Senior technology leadership without the full-time commitment. Twenty years of engineering experience, available on your terms.
Not taking new clients in Q2 2026. Book a discovery call to get on the waitlist for Q3.
What I Do
Technology strategy and roadmap
Define where your technology needs to be in 12–36 months. Prioritise what matters, cut what does not.
Architecture review and modernisation
Audit your current system design. Identify bottlenecks, technical risk, and migration paths forward.
M&A technical due diligence
Assess the engineering quality and technical risk of an acquisition target. See the full methodology.
Engineering team assessment and hiring
Evaluate your existing team, identify gaps, and help you hire engineers who will ship.
Cloud-native migration
Plan and execute transitions to Docker and Kubernetes. Practical paths from legacy to container-native.
Security posture review
Identify exposure across your application stack, infrastructure, and processes. No checkbox audits.
Vendor and platform evaluation
Navigate the noise around infrastructure, SaaS tools, and cloud providers. Opinionated, independent assessments.
AI/ML integration strategy
Figure out where AI actually adds value in your product or workflows, and what it takes to get there.

- Scale-ups going through growth, M&A, or platform migration

Why Me
20 years building internet infrastructure
From a domain registrar startup to a 100-person Digital Risk Protection company spanning 10 EU offices.
Built X-RAY from zero at EBRAND
Conceived and shipped the flagship Digital Risk Protection platform as an intrapreneur. It's now the core product of the company.
Led engineering at EuroDNS
One of Europe's top domain registrars. Grew from Software Architect to CTO over nine years.
M&A technical due diligence
Assessed acquisition targets at the Namespace Group level. Not theoretical — done under real deal timelines.
Still hands-on
I work at the terminal every day. I read the code, not just the architecture slides.
Based in Luxembourg, working across Europe
Familiar with the regulatory and business environment across the EU. Available for on-site when it matters.
