AI can build your product. It can't tell you what's going to break.
Senior technical help, by the hour. Architecture reviews, security audits, and honest guidance from someone who's built and scaled companies.
From £75 per session. No retainer.
I co-founded and was CTO at Ecologi where we scaled from 3 to 80+ employees, had 18,000 happy B2B customers and ranked #8 in LinkedIn's Top UK Startups 2022. After my exit, I became CTO at Just, taking a pre-alpha concept to production. Now I'm co-founder at CHPTRS.
I help founders building with AI make the technical decisions that matter.
When to bring me in
You're building something and you've hit a wall you can't prompt your way out of
- –Architecture and database decisions before you're locked in
- –Making sense of AI-generated code you don't fully trust
- –"Am I doing this right?" answered by someone who's done it
You've built it and you need to know it won't fall over in front of real users
- –Security and performance review before you go live
- –"Will this scale to 1,000 users?" answered honestly
- –Technical due diligence prep before investors ask
How it works
No retainer. No long-term commitment. Just senior technical help when you need it.
Email me your problem
Tell me what you're building and what you need help with. I'll reply within 24 hours with whether I can help and when I'm available.
Share your code or context
Before the session, share a repo link, screenshots, or whatever helps me understand the situation. The more context upfront, the more value in the session.
Live session + written summary
We jump on a call. I review your code, answer your questions, and give you direct, honest technical guidance. Afterwards, you get a written summary of what we covered and what to do next.
I don't tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what's going to break, what's fine, and what to focus on next. Direct, honest, useful.
"Alex helped me cut through the noise when I was building HelloRevenue. Through regular strategy calls he gave me clear, honest technical guidance that took us from early-stage uncertainty to production readiness. If you're a non-technical founder who needs a technical partner you can trust, Alex is your guy."
