Your Founder's First Engineer Ship the core system in 6–12 weeks.

The first technical person you'd hire. I build the revenue-ready core system that runs your business.

You know what to build. You've validated the idea, you have the domain expertise, maybe even paying customers.

But translating that into working software? That's where founders burn months and budgets. Hiring the wrong dev shop, building too much, shipping too late.

Fit Check

Who this is for (and who it isn't)

A "proven founder" means you've validated your idea—paying customers, early traction, or deep domain expertise you're ready to productize. This isn't for idea-stage exploration.

Great fit if

You have a validated idea or early traction.
You want senior CTO leadership without a full-time hire.
You need to ship the first real system fast.
You want to stay focused on your business.

Not a fit if

You want a long-term full-time CTO hire.
You need a large dev team assembled in month one.
You want hourly consulting without delivery ownership.
You need heavy enterprise procurement or compliance.

I got my first computer in 1985, when Dad brought home a work computer and said "Here, figure this out." Mom kept bringing tea, but it just went cold while I was obsessed with figuring it out.

40 years later, I've been deep in the trenches of global banking platforms and built my own company to seven figures.

But what actually lights me up? Sitting with a founder like you and turning your ideas and expertise into a machine that runs without you.

I build Fortune-500 architecture without the Fortune-500 price tag.

35% cheaper. 92% on-time. Systems that compound.
