Fractional CTO

Questions about this service

How much time do you commit per month?

Usually 2 to 6 days a month, on a steady schedule. The scope can change from month to month.

For a while, yes. One of my goals is to get the company ready to hire a permanent technical leader, including helping with that hire.
