What’s included in CTO Advisory
Most expensive technical mistakes are decisions, not bugs made early, under pressure, without anyone senior in the room. This is that person, available when the decision is in front of you: no jargon walls, clear priorities, and answers you can act on immediately.
- A senior engineer in the room for the call you are about to make
- Implementation guidance and architecture oversight after an audit
- Technical review before investor demos, partnerships, or acquisitions
- A second opinion on build-versus-rebuild and platform choices
- Hands-on engineering support where a decision needs proving out
- Founder-grade communication clear priorities, no jargon walls
Who You’re Talking To
- Eight years of production engineering experience.
- Experience across AI-native platforms, SaaS systems, marketplaces, and cloud infrastructure.
- Patterns that only emerge at scale seen before, not theorised.
- Available as a standing arrangement alongside Continuous Assurance.

See all pricingWhen Founders Call Us In
Most outages, security gaps, and scaling failures show warning signs long before production incidents happen.
Before investor demos
Founders want confidence that scaling risks and technical debt won’t surface during growth conversations.
Before enterprise onboarding
Enterprise customers expose architecture, observability, security, and operational weaknesses quickly. Better to find them first.
Before scaling infrastructure costs
Poor architecture decisions compound silently as traffic, deployments, and dependencies grow.
Before rebuilding becomes necessary
Many startups rebuild too early because foundational decisions were never validated properly. One founder was about to rebuild on microservices; the bottleneck turned out to be a single service, and the audit saved six months and $200K in salaries.
Before technical debt slows velocity
Shipping gets slower for reasons nobody can name. A second opinion finds the structural cause rather than treating the symptom sprint after sprint.
Before incidents damage trust
Architectural flaws surface under pressure. Senior engineering judgment applied before that pressure arrives — not after.
How it works
Brief
You bring the decision, the constraints, and what you already know.
Assess
We look at the system as it is, not as the diagram says it is, and weigh the options against it.
Decide
A clear recommendation with the trade-offs stated plainly, and support through execution if you want it.
