Technology leadership that shows up in the P&L.
Fractional and interim CTO for founders and CEOs. AI strategy, cost reduction, and technical due diligence. At Double Blind Bio: $1,957 a day of AI spend down to under $300, and a patent on the architecture, in ten weeks.
“Twenty years turning technical strategy into working software. The person who designs your architecture is the person who ships it, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.”
AI-first. Observability before you build.
Most teams push AI features into production and then wonder what happened. I flip the order: instrument first, so every model, agent, and prompt has metrics, evals, and a unit-cost attached from day one.
Instrument
Metrics, evals, dashboards, and per-feature token accounting go in before a single production prompt goes live.
Prioritize
AI bets ranked by ROI, gross-margin impact, and evidence, so table stakes and needle-movers don't get confused.
Ship & Contain
Model routing, caching, guardrails, and budget alerts turn AI from experimental burn into a predictable, high-margin cost line.
Built and delivered at the scale you’re aiming for.
10-week Interim CTO turnaround at Double Blind Bio.
Remediated a Sev 0 GCP + Vertex AI cost spike, restructured the engineering org, and handed the platform to the incoming permanent leadership, all in 10 weeks. The resulting AI architecture is the subject of a patent.
Six pillars of advisory.
Each engagement starts with what’s on your desk: the AI bill, the empty CTO seat, the roadmap you have to defend.
Interim CTO Leadership
Take the CTO seat during transitions so the roadmap doesn't wait for a search.
AI & Technology Strategy
Find the two or three AI bets that move your unit economics. Everything else waits.
AI Cost Reduction
Stop paying for tokens you can't account for.
Where AI Runs and Where It Doesn't
AI on your screens, parsing, and workflows. Deterministic logic where a wrong number costs more than AI saves.
Technical Due Diligence
Tell you what's true about the engineering before you acquire, invest, or bet the roadmap.
Engineering Organization Design
Scale from 5 to 50 engineers without losing founder-speed.
