Fractional CTOMVP ConsultationDevelopment

Get expert guidance to scope your product, plan costs and select the right architecture.

Most projects don't fail because the tech is hard.

They fail because founders don't know what to put in the MVP, how to keep users, or what the product will cost tomorrow.

I help you scope features for MVP and retention, spot the cost traps and pick the right architecture.

  • Product and feature scope for MVP and user retention
  • Cost-efficient architecture
  • MVP strategy for speed & scale
  • SaaS builds and AI automation

Fully booked until April 2026. Limited waitlist spots available.
