IDEAL FIT

Who I Work Best With

Early-Stage Founders

Pre-seed to Series A founders who need a technical co-pilot. You're building your first product, hiring your first engineers, and making architecture decisions that will define your company for years.

Growth-Stage CTOs

Technical leaders scaling from startup to scale-up. You're dealing with technical debt, team growth, platform re-architecture, and the shift from building fast to building right.

Angel Investors & VCs

Investors who need independent technical assessment before committing capital. You want to understand the real state of a startup's technology, team, and architecture.

Web3 & AI Builders

Founders building in emerging technology. You need someone who has built in these spaces -- not just studied them -- to help navigate the unique challenges of Web3 and AI product development.
