I'm a fractional CTO who specialises in engineering himself out of the job.
Hiring a full-time CTO takes months... and often ends up looking like a shotgun marriage. Let's not take your Series A startup down that road.
I'm the alternative.
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 help Series A founders build engineering teams that scale.
When to bring me in
You don't have a CTO
- –Tech debt is restricting your velocity
- –Hiring has become a bottleneck
- –You lack a technical roadmap for your next round
You have a CTO
- –They're struggling with the shift from engineer to leader
- –Engineering decisions lack strategic oversight
- –You want to develop them, not replace them
How this works
I don't just advise — I embed.
Embedded support
I embed one or two days a week until you're ready to hire permanently.
Transformation project
Focused three-month engagements covering team structure, hiring, and tech strategy. Then I cleanly hand off to your strengthened team.
If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear or move cautiously, I'm not your guy. I work best with founders who are ready for velocity and thrive on direct feedback.
"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."
Let's scale this thing
Stop firefighting your tech and start building on it.
